Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 8354
failure by inserting OLE object into writer component
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
This problem happened by writing a bigger document. By starting the document everything worked fine by inserting OLE objects. There is no problem by writing text and everything else. But at once by inserting another OLE object (OOo drawing) OpenOffice crashed. This happens every time by doing it (in the bigger document). But it is possible to copy and paste another OLE object in the document. (It only crashed by "inserting" a new one). I tested this behavior on Windows 98/2000/XP and OpenOffice 1.0.1 (german version). Ronny Heinsberg (r.heinsberg.privat@gmx.de)
Created attachment 3172 [details] Testcase for inserting OLE objects
Ronny, thank you for using and supporting OOo. Could you attach the drawing file we need to insert in order to crash OOo? Unable to duplicate on Win NT 4.0 SP6a, OOo 643. Unable to duplicate on RH 8.0, RH OOo 1.0.1.
The Problem ist not to insert an existing drawing file, but inserting a new drawing object crashes OOo. You can test it by taking the OLE_Test.sxw and than insert a new OLE- Object(drawing). There where other people who tested it also and got the same mistake. Maybe it works on WinNT or on the english version of OOo.
I was able to see this failure on win98se running OOo 1.0.2. Steps to achieve failure: Open attached file OLE_Test.sxw. From Insert menu, select Object, OLE Object, check Create New, Select OOo 1.0.2 Drawing. Insert begins, but does not finish. An error box pops up: OOo 1.0.2, "An unrecoverable error has occurred. All modified files have been saved and can probably be recovered at program restart." Click OK. OOo closes, then reopens. It asks you if you want to try to recover the file test file. A second quickstarter icon appears in the bottom right of the screen. When the mouse is waved over the two quickstarter icons, one disappears. Failure is repeatable. I run the English version of OOo.
Reassigned to Michael.
Yes, I could also see the problem. But it is fixed in already available OO 643C and in the soon upcoming OpenOffice 1.1 Beta.
Closed, because already fixed.
