Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 8505
Scroll wheel crashes Xserver in OO document
Last modified: 2003-03-12 14:35:54 UTC
I am using RH8.0, pIII, 256MB RAM, Matrox Mil G200, Primax Cyber Navigator mouse The problem is the following: I open a document, when I use the pgUP,PGDN button to scroll through it nothing bad happens. However when I use the scroll wheel on the mouse to browse, the Xserver crashes and restarts (my session closes and I am presented with the login window). All other programs work very well with this setup. Please note that this mouse is not normally supported in RHlinux, so to get it to work I put /etc/sysconfig/mouse to PS/2 generic mouse and my /etc/X11/XF86Config to imps2 mouse. This gives me scroll wheel functionality in X. Also note that gpm is working in the background. If I kill it before starting X, the mouse goes crazy in X. To make things more complicated, the same behavior exists in OO1.0.1 and RH7.x In the past i tried to resolve the problem (didnt know it was mouse related) and when I put SAL_ANTIALIAS_DISABLE in soffice the problem disappeared. (But the document doesnt look that good.which is expected) There are no error logs present in XFree86.x.log or in gpm log... Currently I have switched my XF86Config back to PS/2 mouse and lost the scroll wheel support. This is only observed in documents that contain formulas and not only text. I have filed an example in issue #8072, "master31.sxw" (thought it may be related). I understand that this looks rather complicated but If there is some way, let me know how I could provide more precise info. Thanks... George
1 more comment: I tested the same thing with a normal Intellimouse, the same behavior exists. (everything says imps2 protocol in my config files know)
OS->PL: It looks like this is one for you.
The program that does not work well is your Xserver. The missing log file you possibly can find in your home directory named .Xsession-error or similar (depends on your session setup), i suggest filing an error to the XFree project which contains that log.
Ok Philip, I'll do that. Thanks anyway. George
As mentioned on the qa dev list on March 5th I will close all resolved <wontfix/duplicate/worksforme/invalid> issues. Please see this posting for details. First step in IssueZilla is unfortunately to set them to verified.
