Description ash_hooper 2005-05-27 17:23:43 UTC 
I will attach a sample document that contains nothing but a group of linked
graphics files (the actual files reside on the Internet and the Word document
contains only the links).

If I try to import this document (or any other with embedded linked graphics
files) into OOo it hangs.  This is 100% repeatable and occurred with 100% of the
documents I have with linked graphics files.

I found a similar problem with OOo Impress also, and I wouldn't be surprised if
Calc is similarly affected.

Comment 2 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2005-05-30 07:13:43 UTC 
Could not reproduce the crash with SRC680m105 and with SRC680m78 under Windows
XP. But it takes a while to load the document, because of the 12 linked graphics.
Comment 3 ash_hooper 2005-05-30 08:09:03 UTC 
May possibly be down to the way Linux handles the linked graphics then.  Each
time I tried to open such a document (whether in Impress or Writer) the computer
would hang indefinitely.  In the case of Writer, the hang occurred during the
Import process and in the case of Impress it would be when attempting to view
the page (or even the page thumbnail).  We left the computer for up to 30
minutes but it never came back.

Hi ash_hooper,

thanks for using and supporting openOffice.org...

I didn't get a problem opening your file here on Solaris using m106...
I didn't get a problem opening your file here on FC3 using m106...

Did you enter something in Tools -> Options -> Internet -> Proxy ??

OO does not crash here. There exists a performance issue, when a document
contains links to http sources on the Internet. See issue 7553.
