Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 2910
"An unrecoverable error has occured"
Last modified: 2004-10-15 04:12:04 UTC
I receive the error message "An unrecoverable error has occurred. All modified files have been saved and can probably be recovered at program restart." This happens seemingly randomly, but I usally have to do some action for it to happen. Today it happened once while hitting the "yes" button when asked if I wanted to save the document after exiting. It also happened to me today after I right-clicked on a frame and tried to change it's properties. This happens on Linux and also on Windows with 641C. I just upgraded from 641 and I don't remember getting these with 641, although it was a long time since I used 641, so I can't remember.
Please specify in more detail what you are doing to crash OO.o. E.g. openening this and clicking that..
One example of when this happens: I right click on a frame's border, and then I left-click on the "Frame..." option, to edit the frame's properties. I get the error message immediately after left-clicking. This error is very repeatable. It is just one example of when the "unrecoverable error has occured" message appears. I will add more situations as I notice them, but I have had them for many different things before.
It looks like this is a 641c issue, because I just reverted to 638c and I don't have any problems so far... I had this error occur in a document today which was really annoying because I could no longer use the document. I had copy and pasted a drawing from the OpenOffice Drawing program. It was fine, no problems. The next time I opened the document later that day, after rebooting the computer, OpenOffice crashed every time I even scrolled, and the drawing entered the screen. There was an arrow on the drawing, that came up okay, then I scrolled one more line down, to where there was a little text box...then boom! it crashes. I did this over and over. Very repeatable. This is a very far-reaching problem as far as I can see. It can be triggered by various sources. Like I said, this has happened to me in Linux as well as Windows 98SE. Thanks.
Reassigning to UDK, as OI is closed. Louis
Assigning this bug to someone else... sorry for passing the buck, but I'm not a programmer (at least not a good one) for OpenOffice, I just found the bug. Is this bug obsolete? or duplicate?
Joerg, can you please look for whats getting wrong and dispatch this issue accordingly?!
I can reproduce the frame issue, it happens also when you simly try Insert/Frame..., so the frame dialog seems to be completely inaccessible in OO641C. It does not occur anymore in one of our later internal builds, so I think the bug should be fixed in the next build (probably already in the unstable OO642C developer release).
Somebody speculated (I believe in another related issue) that these problems are all due to the fact that gcc 3.x was used for the 641 build rather than 2.x which was used for 638. I'm just curious, did we revert back to 2.x now? Also, this crash can be re-created from doing all sorts of things, not just frames. I've caused these crashes on Linux and Windows on the same computer.
We are still with gcc 3.0. The error arose within some resource handling code, so I would not be too surprised, if a similar bug strikes you somewhere else. If you can reproduce them, please post it, so that I can verify, that they have also gone. It is not clear to me, whether the bug occurs because of gcc2->gcc3 transition or because for some other reason, as I don't know what has fixed it.
close issue.
