Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 19178
Writer crash when using scanner
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:36 UTC
When trying to import a partial scan (request)after succesfully setting up a scanner within openoffice (agfa spanscan e20) writer crashes. Unfortunaly it also crashes the scanner (stays busy forever with every other application i use)
if OOo craches please send the crashreport. if you got a craschreport please post the id here
I would like but i can't send a crash report :(. The scanner has become totally unreachable for any application. It seems that setting up the scanner with OpenOffice mucked up the firmware in the scanner. Now the scanner boots up just scanning a tiny area and reprting to applications that it is busy.
I can confirm that with a HPG85 scanner under MDK 9.1 Linux and OOo 1.1 RC1, the same behaviour occurs. This makes at least two different scanners that provoke the same behaviour. It is not so much a crash as a freeze. OOo lets me scan the document, but when it comes to copying the image from memory into writer , the whole app freezes. OOo will accept no further mouse or keyboard input. You need to kill it to free up the app and the ressources. I'm setting the oooqa tag and confirming. Alex
set target to OOo2.0
