Description kommx 2009-01-23 16:42:38 UTC

I have an .odt document (which I will hopefully be able to attach) which I created.

If I follow these steps, writer repeatable crashes:

1. Open the document handout-ref.odt
2. Scroll to page 10
3. Place the cursor in front of the line (before the arrow) which begins with:
"auÃŸerdem wird Bogen zu Strophe 1, Vers 2"
4. Press the TAB key --> writer hangs with maximum CPU-Load on one of my cores.

I hope I described my problem well.

@kommx: you wrote "I hope I described my problem well.".
The answer is: perfect! :)
(That's exactly the short and exact way to report!)

@OD: guessing it may be your playground (layout formatting). Also loops in m39.
Please evaluate and set target as it suites. As set 3.1.

Comment 3 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2009-01-26 08:41:43 UTC

First investigation reveals the following:
- The text frame on page 10 has set attribute "AutoWidth". The inserted
TAB-character causes the layout process to re-calculate the automatic width of
the text frame. Unfortunately the layout process has problems with this
re-calculation.
- The loop already occurs in OOo 2.0.

Due to the last investigation result and the near code freeze of OOo 3.1, I
decided to re-target with issue to OOo 3.2

Workaround to avoid the layout loop:
- open format dialog of the text frame on page 10
- change width to 20,5cm
- unset "AutoWidth"
- confirm the format dialog of the text frame
Now the TAB-character can be inserted. Probably, the width of the text frame
needs to be adjusted manually to the user's needs.

due to limited resources I have to re-target this issue to OOo 3.x
