Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 29613
Crashes during AutoSave
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Seeing crashes during AutoSaves. Usually this has happened while I'm in the Open or Save As dialogs. If I happen to hit Save at the moment of AutoSave, it a Windows Application crash.
Is that correct that you got the crash everytime you hit save when OOo still autosaving ? or just sometimes Please try using the latest OpenOffice 1.1.1 or maybe 1.1.2rc2 , you can download it from http://download.openoffice.org/1.1.1/index.html many bug fixes and enhancements since your version and 1.1.1 . If the problem still happend in 1.1.1 please report back. It maybe not yet solve your Issue, but it worth to try.
Well I'm a consultant and I've installed 1.1.1 on customer Win 98 SE machines and have experienced the same AutoSave crash. So, I think it must be surfacing somewhere near AutoSave. I have only seen the problem intermittently , maybe 20% of the time. It sound like a race condition, but isn't the code really deterministic? That is a race between the Save and AutoSave. Save and AutoSave should be mutually exclusive, once either is entered the other should be locked out. That's my best guess not having examined those particular pieces of code.
MRU->ES: please clarify, if this seems to be a problem of sxw or more framework (Save-Dialog on WinME maybe...)
Please describe step-by-step what you did most of the time to reproduce the crash. When it crashes please send the crash report with the issue number in the title. It sounds hard to reproduce because, while autsaving, the UI is disabled so you shouldn't be able to save manually
Works for me
