Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 28015
Scrolling problems
Last modified: 2004-04-26 17:01:11 UTC
I have a 102-page document with images, charts, tables, lists, TOC etc. All of the images, charts and tables are at the end of the document. When I first installed OOo version 1.1.1 together with the Estonian spellcheck modules by a third-party developer - Filosoft, and tried to scroll to the pages containing the charts (which were made by Calc) using the slider at the side of the window then just about when Writer started to display the charts the whole application crashed, telling me that all my work has probably been saved and can be restored. I got over it by reinstalling OOo WITHOUT the spellcheck modules (which apparently don't work with 1.1.1 although they work with every other version of OOo I've tried) then the program doesn't crash but slows down the scrolling significantly when trying to display those charts. And they appear only after a few seconds when I've scrolled to the right place.
about the crash: as i understand the crash happened only when using the third-party spellcheck software.. .. so that's nothing we can do about from the OOo community. you should contact Filosoft concerning this issue. about the slow scrolling: which computer system are you using? Do you have enough RAM,..? We know that OOo is not the fastest Office Suite and the programmers are working hard to improve performance, however as you say you are working with a 100 pages document it is not uncommon behaviour that incorporated elements, which use also other components of OOo (Charts..), will slow down performance of OOo. All in all, i think this issue can be closed as WorksForMe.
The scrolling problem seems to be a duplicate to issue 27259 and issue 27876. There are also many OLe objects inside the document and the the scrolling process is slowed down heavily by strong hard disk activity. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 27259 ***
Closed as dupliicate.
