Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 65094
OOWriter crashes when saving a compared document
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:42:31 UTC
NOTE: This sounds like #40443 or maybe #47285 but I can reproduce it in at least three versions of OO2, where it should have been fixed. ( OOo2 beta - OOo2.0 - OOo2.01 ) Open a large odt document* Edit->Compare insert a different version of the doc Kill/ignore dialog box listing changes try to saveas- OO crashes Does NOT crash when doing this with text-only: save the large docs to .txt repeat above, and save to .odt file Does NOT crash when using a raw text file converted to odt. *Large odt documnent= 350 pages, TOC, Index, headings, many styles, jpeg illustrations ( maybe a png?) in short, a typical tech writer doc. Let me know what info you need- I can't give you the doc as its proprietary, but I'll test with your suggestions until we get to the issue.
Reassigned to ES.
Send me the document by e-mail please.
Please also check if this still happens in OOo 2.0.2. OOo 2.0 beta is too old!
does happen in OOo 2.01 having trouble with 2.02 on install trying with build of tip of cvs tree.
Same crash happens on win2k, 384megs Ram, OO.o 2.02. However, on that win2k system it is possible to save the changed-list file by closing OOo, and answering the "do you want to save me" dialog 'yes' Further the order in which the docs were compared seems to matter: if the older doc is opened, then the newer doc is compared, it is possible to saveas the result. Still trying to get a clean 2.02 on linux....
Document still needed to reproduce the crash.

Version changed
I understand your confidentiality Eric, thanks. It's more a matter of my rear end I am concerned about ;>) so, I'll make a dummy doc that makes me feel safe. Perhaps I can even do something clever to narrow down the scope.... I do understand the needle-in-haystack debugging problem you have with no crash dump available.
Created attachment 36349 [details] backtrace from crash
Created attachment 36352 [details] ver j of dummy manual for compare
Created attachment 36353 [details] ver i of dummy manual for compare
Eric I have found the proximate problem- OLE docs inherited from the original WORD document several versions back. I stripped graphics, text, indices, all the content out except for these OLE graphics and it crashes as described. Attached are ver i and ver j. Hope this makes things easier. The crash dump said ~'no useful info or stack corrupted'
ES->AMA: Stack ID: 522854 Crashes also in OOo 2.0 and also on Windows
I got an additional crash when I try to "accept all" of the changes. And I got in my debug version assertions which shows me problems in the redlining code.
Fixed in CWS swstability03 docsh.cxx 1.57.158.1 ndole.cxx 1.32.160.1
Ready for QA
Verified in cws swstability03
Ok in m181
