Description Unknown 2002-05-14 13:34:48 UTC 
Sometimes when spell checking an OpenOffice document, OpenOffice will freeze after clicking 
either the Ignore, Ignore All, or Add button.  In these instances top reports that OpenOffice is 
consuming ~100% of the CPU time.  Usually if I kill the process and then reopen my document I can run 
spell check without any problem, however when OpenOffice freezes any unsaved work is lost.

Hi, 
 
I have never seen this and use the spellchecker all of the time.  
And no one else has ever reported anything similar that was not 
caused by a bad contributed dictionary. 
 
Please answer some questions for me: 
 
1. what distribution, kernel, and glibc versions are you using? 
 
2. are you using the standard build released by OpenOffice.org or 
someone else's build (say the build of a distribution like Mandrake 
or Debian)? 
 
3. are you just using the standard spell checking (en_US) or have 
you added additional spellchcking dictioanries for other languages? 
If you have added any other dictionaries, please revert to just the 
en_US one so that we can isolate the error. 
 
4. have you run a complete memory diagnostic on your system to make 
sure you don't havbe a bad memory chip? 
 
5. how much memory is installed on the system? 
 
If you are familiar with using gdb to attach to processes, the next 
time it happens will you please grab gdb and attach to the lowest 
numbered process running soffice.bin. 
 
When gdb takes control, please do the following: 
 
info threads (this will tell us how many threads are present) 
 
Then run the following commands for each thread: 
 
   thread XXX   (where XXX is the thread number 1, 2, etc) 
   bt  
 
Then supply the backtrace info at an attachment to this issue. 
Hopefully it will give us some idea of what is going on. 
 
 
Thanks, 
 
Kevin

FME: It would be helpful to have a document and an exact way to
reproduce the bug. Does this bug also appear if you enable the
AutoSpellCheck feature (Tools - Spellcheck - AutoSpellCheck) before
performing the manual spell check (Tool - Spellcheck - Check)? Looks
like i4502.

FME: I think this one is for me.
Comment 4 frank.meies 2002-05-27 08:15:48 UTC 
Quite sure that this is i4502.
