Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 28625
FTP/HTTP image-related induced program lag - apparent freeze
Last modified: 2008-05-17 23:13:01 UTC
The "issue type" is more precisily explained as a processor lag problem, than an actual defect. Product: OpenOffice 1.1.0, HTML document wordprocessor OS: Windows XP 5.1.2600 (Home Edition, Service Pack 1) Hardware: HP Pavilion 2200 notebook Processor: Mobile AMD Athlon(tm) XP2200+ RAM: 192MB The problem arises when the word processor tries to display an image which is FTP or HTTP linked. This is an easily reproducible problem. I've written two ways to reproduce it. 1. Simply copy the HTML source from any web page with any image (valid IMG tag line) into the HTML document, which has a HTTP or FTP location. Then view the HTML documents with those images. The wordprocessor lags the program for a breif period of time, about 5-10 seconds. The program doesn't respond to commands and is in the "Windows Joblist" ((translated from Danish, "Windows jobliste") listed as "not responding". 2. One can also reproduce the problem by writing in the HTML source in the HTML document a valid IMG tag line, e.g. Write <IMG src=http://www.geocities.com/smileysal1981/MissonaryMan.gif>. When this IMG tag line has been written, and clicks to view the example then the lag problem arises (and it doesn't display the image for that matter, but that is not a problem, in my view). This problem is resolved if the [Graphics on/off] icon on the Main Toolbar is set to "off" setting ... ... I wonder why I wrote this then, and wasted 2 minutes of your time :-P
Changed component.
MRU->ES: please have a look together with the other HTML-Doc issue.
Hi! Thank you for this detailed and precize report! This problem is not that trivial as it looks! If you cut your Internet conection before pasting or have set no proxy (if required) in OOo's Options, OOo will apparently freeze during several *minutes*. It's a known problem we need to address but the "fix" for this needs to be specified. So, though I consider this as bug, I'll flag it "enhancement"
ES->BH: Short description: - set no proxy in OOo or turn off your Internet connection. - find a Web page with some linked graphics (Ex: search on Google for "Openoffice.org" in the "Images" search category) - copy the result page. - paste it in OOo (any module) -> OOo tries to retrieve the linked graphics which causes an apparent freeze of the application during several minutes.
