Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 67238
RTF: Writer needs very long formatting multi-columned documents
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:21:44 UTC
I got at least one document that causes OOo Writer to totally freeze when opening it. Doesn't matter if I double-click the file, file->open it or send to->OOo - OOo opens, then shows the "importing document" progress bar. When the bar is complete the window doesn't react/refresh anymore and consumes all processor power it can get and I have to kill OOo. Happens both under WinXP and Ubuntu Linux, got it with OOo 2.0.2 and 2.0.3. With OOo 1.1.5 the window seems to refresh still but it does nothing and has to be killed. Seems to reproduce on other machines. It still happened when the document was converted to MS .doc. But when opened and saved with MS WordPad it loads properly - but layout has changed (looks simplified).
Created attachment 37666 [details] The file, that causes the freeze
confired with OOo 2.0.3 on Linux and m175 on Win XP: load the Document. After document is loaded, it will not be displayed but OOo seems to run in a infinite loop (consuming 99% of CPU time)
MRU->OD: the attached docment needs VERY long time (about 5 min) to be formatted. Could you please have a look if this could be improved somehow? Thanks a lot!
apply correct target according to discussion with MRU -> OOo later
