Description memyselfi 2004-04-23 17:40:36 UTC
When I load an ASCII file, the file does not show up on the screen. i.e. the 
screen remains blank. I have to click on the screen before the file will appear.

hello,
does this happen only with a specific ASCII file or with all ASCII files in general?
Comment 2 utomo99 2004-04-24 06:37:32 UTC
Please Attach the documents which make this problem, so we can test it/faster 
to confirm.  
(Without the documents, we cannot confirm the problem easily/need more time)
Don't forget to cut other part of the documents, so the file size is small, 
but we still able to see the problem.

Since I'm out of votes, I thought I would just add that I found the same thing
yesterday when loading an ASCII file -- nothing until I did a Page Down when it
suddenly appeared.  Running linux version, so it might not be OS specific.

re-assigned to US.
Comment 6 memyselfi 2004-05-01 06:49:17 UTC
This happens with all ASCII files. I hestitate attaching a file, as you do not 
take ZIP files and I'm only able to create ZIP files.

I did notice, however, that this problem is intermittent. This may be a 
framework problem, as if an ASCII file is the first thing that's being used, it 
loads properly. But, if the Suite had been in use for a while, the problem 
appears.

IssueZilla accepts zip-Files, there are even two choices:
  Binary file, .jar file, .class file, .zip file (application/octet-stream)
and
  ZIP compressed (application/x-compressed) 
but you don't have to zip it, you can attach it as plain text as well.

It would be great if you could come up with a scenario where this is reproducible.

When the problem occurs, does it help to do a screen refresh (<ctrl>+<shift>+r)
or to minimize and restore the window or to switch between another application
and OOo?

utomo > memyselfi:
yes Issuezilla accept zip. as cloph explain. 
if your documents contain secret data you can send it to the developer 
directly to us@openoffice.org
Thanks

I've seen here no problem using OOo1.1.2RC2 on Solaris /RedhatLinux9....

WORKSFORME. No answer for more than 30 days, not reproducible.
