Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 108672
WW8: loop while OOo tries to show doc having large table
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:13:22 UTC
Writer hangs indefinitely with 100% CPU usage when opening specific DOC files. Word:Mac 2008 opens these files with no problem, and identifies them as "Word 97 - 2004 document". I am working on an automated document conversion to PDF system, and when the conversion queue hits one of these DOC files, the worker OpenOffice process hangs indefinitely and needs to be killed and restarted. This issue has been discovered while running a headless OpenOffice on Ubuntu 9.10, but I've confirmed the same behavior when manually loading the file in OpenOffice on Mac OS X 10.5.8.
Created attachment 67414 [details] Sample DOC file that triggers the hang
Can confirm this on Windows, thus I've changed Platform/OS to "All". MRU->OD: another one which could have the same root cause as issue 108660 and issue 97310.
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
