Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 59446
OO goes dead while saving a recovered document
Last modified: 2005-12-19 11:58:23 UTC
Applies to Windows XP SP2 and OOo 2.0.1, OOo 1.9.122 and OOo 1.1.4. Application and documents involved are stored on the local hard drive and accessability is in no way not poor or limited. Error message "Error saving the document yadayada: General error. General input/output error" after saving a document which was previously recovered using the Document Recovering Tool. Reproducabiliy: 50/50. Sometimes it saves okay, sometimes the description below applies. After clicking OK, practically all functions in the current editor, including Exit, are disabled. Menu functions are gray. Hotkeys including Ctrl+C don't not work. Keys to navigate the document don't work. The only things left working are: Typing text and the enter key, the File/New submenu to creare new documents, the Alt key to activate the menu bar, and mouse navigation.
can you attach a document with which to reproduce the problem? thanks
Attachment was asked. I experimented and discovered it is not needed. Exact reproduction instructions: Edit a loaded document and wait for OOo to save AutoRecovery information (default 15 minutes). There should be a property entry in Recovery.xcu looking like this: <prop oor:name="TempURL" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/Application%20Data/OpenOffice.org2/user/backup/verbs.xls_8.ods</value> </prop> Now, kill the soffice process, and run the recovery tool. Change the document and try to save it.
cannot reproduce: OOo 2.0.1 RC5 saves the document without errors after recovery
Not reproducible in a m146 (8991) build on WinXP !
