Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 120529
crash after print of non-existing pages
Last modified: 2022-10-28 12:54:20 UTC
With the following steps the application will crash: - open existing text document or create a new one - Menu File - Print - choose to print a page which does not exist - Print - close text document --> crash. This crash also occurs in OOo 3.3 and OOo 3.4 Beta
It crashes only for Windows. For Windows: 1- Open a document. 2- Choose print. Under Range and copy choose the radio button Pages, then enter non exist page. Then press print. 3- Writer will start processing the request and the pop up Print Dialog will be closed without any warning. 4- Close the document. => Crash However, when using OO for mac, in step 3, Writer will show this warning message when pressing Print button "No Pages from the document were selected to be printed" and no crash is encountered when closing the document.
I was able to recreate this in Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 3) using OpenOffice 3.3. I executed the following steps: 1. Opened Open Office Writer 2. From the File menu selected print 3. Selected the Pages radio button 4. Entered the number 0 in the pages field 5. Clicked Print (A document prints) 6. Closed Open Office Writer using the “X” in the upper right-hand corner (While closing, OpenOffice Writer crashes) I also found that when I attempted to print a nonexistent page, a page was printed and the data on that page was different based on what page number I selected. Repeating the above, when I entered -1000 and -1 my printout was one blank page. When I entered 0, 100, 1000, and 5000 my print out was “IB” written in the top left corner. Regardless of the input, if I only entered 1 number the Writer crashed when trying to close. I then repeated the above steps using various scenarios with ranges of numbers and got the results below: Range Existing Pages Output 11-12 Neither Existed 1 Blank Page 14-16 None Existed 1 Blank Page 1-2 Page 1 Existed, 2 Did Not Page 1 Printed 1-3 Pages 1&2 Existed, 3 Did Not Page 2 Printed In all the scenarios I executed using ranges with nonexistent pages the Writer does not crash when closing.
