Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 3680
Freeze after pasting picture
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
First Time: * Opened an MS Word doc & saved it as Open Office format. * Did some editing. * Opened a screen capture in Paint (previously saved as 16 colour bitmap) & selected & copied part of the bitmap. * Pasted the pic into the OO text document. * Changed the alignment of the pic to Left. * Shrunk the pic using the mouse to drag it to the desired size. * Did more editing. * Attempted to save & the program froze. * Used Ctl-Alt-Del to kill the word processor, & restarted the PC (shut down, turned it off & on). * Attempted to open the doc & the word processor froze again (the picture was missing; just an empty space). Second Time * Opened the original MS Word doc in OO, copied the contents & pasted into a new OO document. * Did some editing. * Did a save-as to have a spare copy. * Pasted the pic as above. * Changed the alignment of the pic to Left. * Shrunk the pic using the mouse to drag it to the desired size. * Saved the document & closed it. * Attempted to open it again, upon which the program froze & had to be killed with C-A-D. Third Time (this worked ok) * Used Paint to cut out the piece of the screen capture that I needed, & saved this as a separate file. * Deleted the OO doc that caused the freeze. * Opened the spare copy of the doc & did another save-as to provide a spare. * Inserted the picture created above (Insert > Graphics > From file). * Changed the alignment of the pic to Left. * Shrunk the pic using the mouse to drag it to the desired size. * Saved the document & closed it. * Opened the doc again & this time it was ok.
Adrian, thanks for posting this issue. Does this problem still exist in OOo 1.0.1? If it does, please attach the files required to reproduce this problem. Thank you for using and supporting OOo. Unable to duplicate on Win NT 4.0 SP6a, OOo 1.0.1.
Joost: I neither had problems within 1.01 nor in a current developer build. I suppose the user might check his printer driver and graphics driver. Perhaps the system doesn't have enough memory
As mentioned on the qa dev list on March 5th I will close all resolved <wontfix/duplicate/worksforme/invalid> issues. Please see this posting for details. First step in IssueZilla is unfortunately to set them to verified.
