Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 12967
unable to save documents
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:09:17 UTC
I have a single user who occassionally encounters the problem that she is unable to save any of her documents. An error will suddenly start reporting that an unrecoverable error has occured. She is using Mandrake Linux 8.1 with KDE and I have tried to fix her problem by upgrading her from ver. 1.0 to 1.0.1 but it is still happening. I found that a file, $HOME/user/basic/script.xlc, had a size of zero bytes so I copied her "$HOME/user/basic/dialog.xlc" to "script.xlc" and changed any "dialog" entries in the file to "script". This has allowed her to be able to save again. The only place that I could see any error messages was in her "$HOME/.xsession-errors". The last modified time on the "script.xlc" file was right around the time that she shut down her PC for the day. If she had a blank document still running as she shut down, could that have wiped out this file?
maybe hopeless, if it cannot be reproduced when the script.xlc becomes zero bytes
There's no connection between the script/dialog.xlc files and saving documents besides the fact that Basic is initialised before saving a document und Basic needs these files. OOo 1.1 Beta will not crash any more if the xlc files are damaged in this situation. So the document saving will not be affected any more. Of course it would be interesting, how the xlc files can be damaged at all, but I think this should be covered by another issue if a reproducable scenario can be found for this. So I set this issue to fixed.
