Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 70646
WW8: document containing Redlines in tables causes memory leak
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:44:35 UTC
When I open the attched MS Office Word Document, Open Office hangs and memory usage continues to spiral upward until I perform an 'End Task'. The problem was experienced with version 2.0.3 and 2.0.4 - English distro. Strangely, the Hebrew version - base version 2 - opened it successfully. As a quick test, I removed most of the contents except for the first couple of pages - and it opened successfully. The document seems to contain some 'off beat', non-typical elements. Unfortunately, I have no avenue to find out exactly how this document was prepared.
Created attachment 39912 [details] Fails to open
I confirm the behavior on Windows XP OOo 2.0.4. In Word, the document has 96 pages with many tables, so I suspect duplicate of issue 17565.
MRU->AMA: The document causes a loop (including high memory consumption up to 250 MB) in OO Writer after the import process has finished. I guess, the redlines in tables in the document are responsible or this.
FME: Also loops in OOo 2.0.1. Set target to OOo 2.x.

Cannot be fixed until code freeze => target 3.0
