Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 54879
Writer hangs with 100% CPU load
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:43:17 UTC
Document was kind of lost after adjustment of picture, since opening the doc results in 100% load and Writer does not respond. Well, I managed to save it by loggin out (resulted in a question if I wanted to save), loggin in again, downloading the 1.1.5, opening it and saving to sxi format (after another adjustment of the picture), reopening in 1.9.125, and then it works. The doc is not public so I cannot put it on the web, but someone wanting to checking this issue could mail me and get it. /Klas PS, just to keep you aware: There are many more bugs than you think; when working with Writer I find more more than one bug (or major deficiency) per hour, and there is simply no time for reporting them all, and no use since the quality is too bad. Well, reporting this one to see what happens.....
@ klas We need a document and a step by step instruction to reproduce that problem, otherwise we will have to close this issue INVALID.
I've got some test equipment from reporter (confidential content in test document); I will check soon.
Do we have a writer or a presentation issue here? Reporter has described about "save to sxi format"
talking about '002hang.odt', that really causes a hang when I open. Detailled test results later!
HI->ES: Please take over, thanks.
Clarification to the question by hi on Sep 21 02:23:52 -0700 2005: > Do we have a writer or a presentation issue here? > Reporter has described about "save to sxi format" Sorry, me typing the wrong thing; the document was saved to sxw format!
Last line of report above: quality is too bad. Well, reporting this one to see what happens..... Noticed: Confirmed by rainerbielefeld Wed Sep 21 02:37:57 but left as unconfirmed and the 2.0 is released. Conclusion: No use reporting anything; this software is total crap and it will remain that way.... EOF
->rainerbielefeld: do you have the document? Please send it to me, thanx! ->klas: do you want to express your bad mood here or report bugs in a qualified way? We care about bug reports when we have enough info to fix them. Please stop writing such general useless statements: "No use reporting anything; this software is total crap and it will remain that way..." Keep it simple a track the *facts*, please! Thanx! :)
HI->klas: Feel free to use another software. For example where you have to pay for it.
Let's through this to dev0...

Trace of OpenOffice development: 1. Report of 100%CPU hang, repeatable. Document provided via mail. 2. Confirmed by rainerbielefeld Wed Sep 21 02:37:57 -0700 2005: talking about '002hang.odt', that really causes a hang when I open. Detailled test results later! 3. Later got never, OOo2 released, bug report left as unconfirmed. 4. Issue > /dev/null Good progress towards fewer open issues; take a look at http://www.cs.lth.se/home/Klas_Nilsson/OO2progress.odt
No loop or crash in last submittes file on win and lin. Stays closed.
Problem remains in installable 2.0.3 as of today, tested on win2k. To let me verify the correction, please tell when the built developer version should work. (For big docs I have to switch to LaTeX for robustness, but OOo needed for normal office stuff so I want to contribute.)
ES->FLR: at last reproduced (also on Linux) with file found in comments from Fri May 19 11:02:21 -0700 2006. Load the document and wait a little bit or scroll down -> freeze. I don't know if yours or OD's...
Reassigned
reassigning to OD
accepted. It's a loop in the layout engine. apply correct target.
forgot to apply correct target. ;-)
I'm submitting a file (named oojam.odt) which appears to have the same problem (under WinXP Sp2, tested on four different PC's): just load it and wait for a while, and the soffice.bin process gets jammed with 100% cpu load. The very same file is perfectly usable in OO 2.0.2 for Linux.
Created attachment 39145 [details] oowriter document
I tested 'oojam.odt' with "2.0.2 German version WIN XP: [680m5(Build9011)]" and can confirm the problem. App 15 seconds after load OOo hangs. No hang with "2.0.X WIN XP: [680m180(Build9056)]"
@all: The sample file did not hang Mac OS X with the 2.0.3 final code. James McKenzie
can we close this ? as it is reported WFM Thanks
Closing issue as document is quite lengthy (372 pages) and may cause problems on slow systems loading and displaying. Was not possible to recreate problems with OpenOffice 2.0.4 and 2.1. James McKenzie
Still hangs with the progress doc (not the jam doc) on Win2k using 2.0.3, but works fine on both Win2k and WinXP using 2.1. Additionally, on exactly the same machine, it feels like there is a much better and more direct response during layout operations. Apparently, improved and RESOLVED; Thanks!
Thus, I'm closing this issue.
