OOo.org-1.1.2 crashes everytime when I open this document (I have to figure out
how to attach it :-)).

Comment 2 lohmaier 2004-07-03 19:02:06 UTC
no crash with OOo 1.1.2 german and 680m45Ë™

Are you using a localized version of OOo or a version that came with your
distribution? Does the crash-reporter pop-up or does OOo fail silently?
Comment 3 bjlockie 2004-07-05 16:03:14 UTC
I downloaded a binary from here.
The error report tool opens when it crashes.
I sent the bug report to Sun with the error report tool.
Comment 4 lohmaier 2004-07-06 22:33:08 UTC
So you're using an english version?
I tried with german and french version of OOo 1.1.2 and no crash occured.

Would you mind trying again with the developer snapshot 680m45 from
http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html ?

Could you name something special of your setup (distribution, kernel version,
version of glibc, version of X-Server)?
Comment 5 michael.ruess 2004-07-07 11:04:57 UTC
I also do not get a crash when trying to open this document with OO 1.1.x
(including 1.1.2) on Linux.
Maybe there's a problem while building up the view when having a special default
printer on the system. Please tell us, which printer your system uses.
BTW: you should have recieved a confirmation mail for your crash report. Please
post the ID you got there, so that we can have a quick view into the crash
report database. 
thanks for supporting us!

Temporarily set to "worksforme". Should be reopened when further (requested)
information can be provided.
Comment 7 bjlockie 2004-07-25 18:10:34 UTC
This is what I got from Sun Microsystems Quality Feedback
<quality_feedback_NOSPAM@sun.com>:
>Dear User,

It is flaky, it crashed twice and now it opened the document.
It also crashes on some other documents.

The printer was the generic printer but I changed the default.
I have KDE/CUPS but I do not currently have a printer hooked up so I may delete
all system printer (Open Office should not crash though :-)).
Comment 8 michael.ruess 2004-07-27 09:08:01 UTC
In the return-Mail from the error report, hasn't there been a line like "The ID
of the error report is xxxxxx" ?
Without this, we won't be able to have a look at the correct error stack. Could
you please have a look or send another error report? 
Thank you for supporting us.
Comment 9 lohmaier 2004-07-30 22:51:40 UTC
You probably only get the ID when you report the crash from within sun.

The only part that may be used to identiry the report could be the "references"
line:
(these are two reports created today, but since I'm not able to reproduce this
bug, these are other crashers. I don't know whether you can evaluate these lines.
<393325.1091220470421.JavaMail.root@report.stardiv.de>
<626276.1091222972118.JavaMail.root@report.stardiv.de>

I'll attach a response with full-header. Please check whether you can query the
ID using this data.

No crash here: OOo 1.1.2 english version on w2k
Comment 12 michael.ruess 2004-10-21 11:14:34 UTC
MRU->AMA: there seems to be a crash on some machines. A crash report has been
sent and cloph has attached response data drom the crash report. Maybe you can
find the stack belonging to this and assign this to the correct Developer. Thanks!
Comment 13 lohmaier 2004-10-21 20:58:41 UTC
to make things clear:
I'm unable to reproduce the crash. the attached report_answer.txt is not a crash
report, but the automatic generated answer mail one gets when sending one.
I attached it because I wanted to know whether it is possible to get the ID
based on the msgID or other header-data. (OpenOffice.org users don't get the ID
itself)

As I wrote earlier, the crash was produced with some other steps, not while
reproducing this one. So any reports from "cloph" are unrelated. You have to
look for reports coming from bjlockie

Anyway the problem seems related to the printersettings (see comment from
bjlockie - Sun Jul 25)
Comment 14 andreas.martens 2004-10-22 14:28:46 UTC
Even I was able to identify the crash report (Id: 170861). We couldn't find a
hint what's goes wrong there. So we will not ind a fix for OOo2.0. Maybe we'll
find a solution later if we're able to reproduce the problem?!
Comment 15 ace_dent 2008-05-14 23:34:59 UTC
This Issue requires more information ('needmoreinfo'), but has not been updated
within the last year. Please re-test with one of the latest versions of OOo -
the problem(s) may already be addressed. Either use the latest stable version:
http://download.openoffice.org/index.html
or consider trying the new OOo 3 BETA (still in testing):
http://download.openoffice.org/3.0beta/

Please report back the outcome of your testing, so this Issue may be closed or
progressed as necessary - otherwise the issue may be Resolved as Invalid in the
future. You may also wish to search for (and note) any duplicates of this Issue
that may have progressed further :

Do we really expect to get more info for a crash that happened 4 years ago and
that nobody except the submitter could reproduce?
Comment 17 Mathias_Bauer 2008-06-04 09:33:30 UTC

I found this bug by accident and I tried to open the attached file, it crashed.
I can reproduce this bug.

I use Ubuntu 9.04, OpenOffice 3.1.0 OOO310m11 build 9399, package
openoffice.org-core 1:3.1.0-3ubuntu2jaunty1.
