Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 5848
Changing case then saving freezes before dw kills it
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
Hi, Noticed a problem with the wordprocessor and changing case in one particular document(just ask and I'll send it). The problem is with the block "No claim is made on the validity of the information herein. The author accepts no responsibility for any code or designs derived or based upon the contents of this document." (It's a design document to accompany an opensource game). When it is changed to upper case the word processor freezes then crashes (killed by windows). I've repeated this three or four times with the same result. It doesn't matter whether the context menu or the format menu is used to change to upper case. Interestingly when I remove the square graphic from the frame and reinsert it new the problem seems to go away, that is saving doesn't freeze or crash the program (the quickstarter also goes down when this happens!!!). Initially square.jpg was in the same directory as the document, but it was moved to a subdirectory after it had been added to the document and prior to the other shapes being added. The square wasn't 'linked' when it was added, and there is no problem saving unless that block of text is changed to upper case. There are dr watson reports, just tell me where to send everything. I'll include the whole directory just in case. OpenOffice 1.0* Windows 2000 Pro SP2 Athlon XP *Network install for all users of system, only setup currently for the admin and one user. HTH, Chris
Further to that, I just tried removing the square and adding it back again, then it crashed when I upcased the text so maybe that has nothing to do with it. I will play around and see what it might be so the error is more easily reproduced. Chris
