Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 53731
Database Form Wizard crashes during arrange controls
Last modified: 2007-02-05 15:54:32 UTC
1. Database was created using Table wizard 2. Form wizard was started to create form 3. all available fields were added to form 4. sub form was selected 5. all available fields were added to sub form 6. no linked fields 7. In step 5. Arrange Controls: Blocks selected for both main form and for subform. The main form was properly formatted, but the sub form was not completed. (Bar showed that the process was incomplete) 8. It was possible to go back or continue even with incomplete form. Some fields were inserted, but were unevenly ordered. 9. Pressing Finish caused OpenOffice with all components to crash. 10. I have had simlar problems with the form wizard on this step, with different selections. Arrange controls has problems arranging the fields in columns (labels left and labels top) when a sub field exists. The columns are not spaced properly and are too crowded, so that the labels are not complete or overlap other fields.
could you attach a sample database with a sample table, which you used when you encountered the problem? Cannot reproduce this with a randomly chosen database/table of my own. Thanks.
I have just tried it again and it crashed again. On my machine it seems reproducible, if not always. During the step arrange controls I changed the selection a couple of times for the main form, then for the subform and then for the main form again. Perhaps this overloaded the process(?) I will attach the trial database and also the two log files from the two times when it crashed. Hopefully the database is usable, as it seems to have been corrupted the first time as it crashed.
Created attachment 29057 [details] Database with the table that caused form wizard to crash
Created attachment 29058 [details] Database with the table that caused form wizard to crash
Created attachment 29059 [details] log file from crash
Created attachment 29060 [details] log file from second crash
can reproduce the problem with the attached database document. Adjusting priority to P2, and targeting the issue. fs->os: the crash when pressing the "Finish" button of the wizard (twice!) is in SwXDrawPage::group. There are a lot of assertions before, which seem to indicate that the shapes collection is somehow corrupted. fs->bc: I think a deeper reason for the problem is that the block-layout for the sub form fails - this seems to leave the Writer document in some inconsistent state. While Writer should not crash then, could you please investigate why layouting the sub form fails?
