This report is a follow-up of issues 75160 and 75161. I loaded OOF680_m9 and tried it both on windows 98 and windows 2000. It does not crash any longer on windows 98. However conversion time of a StarImpress 5.2 presentation is very long (tens on minutes) on both operating systems. Presentations containing OLE objects and images or drawings are not displayed as the original StarImpress slides: relative dimensions are not preserved.
Reassigned.
Set to new and change the target
I can reproduce the bug with the wrong OLEs. Both the Preview of the OLEs and the OLEs itself are wrong. The preview of the OLE is too small. when you double click the OLE (to open the OLE in the OLE server) and click beside the OLE afterwards the preview is ok again. The size of the OLE is wrong. the OLEs are in the upper left corner of the slide but they have to be as big as the slide. Please have a look.
I agree with your observations: indeed the size of the OLEs is wrong and OLEs are located in the upper left corner. The CPU on which I run these tests is a Pentium of only 667 MHz, therefore my waiting time for opening the presentation is longer than yours.
There is a pretty heavy workaround to the bug of the wrong OLEs. Take a presentation saved with StarOffice 5.2 (.sdd), read it with OpenOffice_1.1: it is fine. Save it as .sxi. Contrary to the .sdd version, the .sxi version reads correctly with OpenOffice_2.2!
I tried OpenOffice.org 2.3 with Windows 2000 on the same .sdd files that showed the error when displaying OLE objects with previous versions. OOo2.3 displays the files correctly. Congratulations!
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
All of these versions are out to date now
