Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 19470
Scanner access race condition, crash
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:36 UTC
I have sane 1.0.9 and a Mustek 600 CU USB on my SuSE7.3: I've always had problems with scanning images (even in Staroffice 5.2) through the writer application. In 1.1RC3 (German localization) now I make a preview, chose a region and the resolution and try to fetch the image. Then the scanner fetches some data and OOo begins to use all RAM and swap until it crashes. Please tell me whether my lines are useful and how I can help you to fix that in future realses if this is a valid issue.

I can confirm this behaviour with 1.1 RC Linux and a HP G85 Officejet scanner. Xsane and Gimp work fine with my scanner. With OOo I get exactly the same behaviour as described, needing to kill OOo to get any response. Setting oooqa tag, and confirming. This really ought to get fixed before GA, or we're gonna have a lot of unhappy people out there. Alex
