Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 73277
Referenced Draw file causes lockup
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:48:05 UTC
The referenced drawing at www.imgn-it.com/OO_crasher.zip consistently causes Draw and Write (if running) to lock up. Download and open the file. Do a Select All. Note that the selection highlight does not appear. Then simply attempt to scroll the page or any other action - on my XP system (running OO 2.1) and a second XP system running 2.0.4, OO is totally seized. Tried waiting a few hours and did not recover. Most any other manipulation of the object will also cause a lockup. About the only safe action is to immediately close the file. Hope this helps.

Created attachment 42022 [details] Any manipulation causes Draw to lockup
The problem is reproducible, yes. But it would really help if you could tell us what we are seeing there. How did you reproduce the file? Are there only these little green circles or are they 3d objects, is it a group or what? Thanks in advance.
Ok, selecting the "thing" and waiting long enough brings up a "polygon with 65536 points selected" -message.... Reassigned.
The file does not lock up the system, it is just a question of RAM and CPU power. Would it be possible to warn the user or get a progress bar so the user can see that there is something happening?
Answers first. The object was created in Draw, and is an array of 2d ovals through a sequence of copy paste (did one, copy/paste, align, copy/paste those two, align to a square, copy/paste... and so forth. Background color, etc. were all defaults from my system. On it not being a lockup. Perhaps if I waited several hours it would eventually work itself out - how long did it take on your system and what type is it? Consider that both systems I tried it on were XP with all updates, 3.4Ghz Pent D dual processor with 2G ram. Far from lightweight systems. Please consider that system environment could be a factor, or that the problem is intermittent for return time.
OS: Windows XP OO Version: 2.1 I was able to reproduce the problem using these steps: 1. Open the attachment OO_crasherA.odg 2. Scroll-up to view the array of 2d ovals 3. Attempt to move one of the ovals repeatedly I attempted to move an oval several times. After a few attempts, OO stopped responding.
retargeted
