Description kuschuermann 2002-07-26 23:43:43 UTC 
While typing at the end of a 2-column area, just when the program would
word-wrap, OpenOffice.org 1.0.1 word processor freezes with 100% CPU usage.

I've noticed in several instances that this SEEMS to happen when a paragraph
break falls at the end of the first column (a new paragraph begins at the top of
the 2nd column) and I'm typing on the last line of the 2nd column, moments
before there would have to be an adjustment of the height of the column area
and, perhaps, an adjustment to the way the paragraph-vs-column break is computed.

The URL points at a small (8k .sxw) document that can be used to reproduce the
problem: the cursor should be at very end and, if you add three or four letters
(try: "windows"), then OpenOffice.org will lock up dead.

Note: the same crash occurs with OpenOffice.org 1.0 under GNU/Linux, so I've
marked platform and O/S as "ALL".

I wonder if that is related to issue 6105, another document that has
some troubles with layout updates where there are two columns
Comment 3 Unknown 2002-11-27 22:20:51 UTC 
Bug Replicated using the example document given by the author K U 
Schuermann.
Replicated on Platform : PC
    OpenOffice version : 643C
                    OS : Windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 2   
But the bug doesn't occur all the time when the paragraph break falls 
at the end of the first column  and we type on the last line of the 
2nd column. It would be quite interesting to find out the exact 
conditions in which the bug occurs and to reproduce the bug using the 
conditions.  Since the bug causes a fatal freeze of the writer it 
sounds like this bug should be given a high priority for fixing.   
The following follow-up tests can be carried out in order to learn 
more about the bug: 
1.	Change the Font attributes such as type, size and boldness.
2.	Change the number of columns.  
3.	Change the spacing between columns.

Why is the status still on new? Set it to resolved fixed, seems to be
the correct one.
