Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 79632
closing spreadsheet / application leaves other linked spreadsheets in memory to close VERY much later

When you have a calc file (e.g. file A) that has links to other calc files that has links to other calc files (e.g. see Issue 49676 although that particular issue is closed) when you close the original file (file A) then other files do not close right away. The OO application appears closed to the user. Many, many minutes later (hours?) at some unknown time in the future, the other files that were updated via the links (file B, file C, etc.) will later appear on the screen awaiting close/save. The other files, other than the ones opened by the user, should either appear right away, or better, not appear at and not be saved/updated. Those files do not even appear as open files to the user when file A is being worked on and when it is initially closed.
I can't reproduce this problem.
Hi, could not reproduce. As no other QA member seems to be able to reproduce it I've to close this Issue as worksforme. Sorry for no better reply. Frank

Created attachment 48149 [details] testcase for issue 79632
Please look at testcase.zip. It contains 3 files. I have run this on MORE THAN ONE PC. The problem is repeatable on each PC. Note, you will need to update the link information in file1 and file2 with the correct path to file2 and file3 respectively depending upon where you store the files. Then open file1 and accept YES to update links. Close the file. You have to wait a LONG time (more than a few minutes - perhaps an hour (!), depending upon the speed of the machine.). Eventually file2 and file3 will be sitting on the screen waiting to be closed. As I noted they do NOT appear right way, nor even in a reasonable amount of time. I just did it again on a PC I had not tried before. However, so far all machines were running Vista.
Yes, I'm confirming with OOo 2.2.1 on OpenSUSE 10.2.
Hi Mikhail, this seems to be yours. Some times ago the DDE linked documents opened visible. Now they are hidden. As these files are altered too by confirming the update message, they are running in the background with no feedback to the user and after some time they appear on the screen. Frank
Not enough resources to get it in 3.0. Setting the target to 3.1.
I don't recall seeing this problem appear for some time. Was it perhaps resolved (inadvertently?) in 2.4.0?
There are not enough resources to get it for OOo3.1, changing the target.
Once again, I do not recall seeing this happen since OO went to 2.4. Perhaps something else was done which if it didn't correct this then it currently masks it.
It could be that the problem is not directly reproducible, but the internal problem still exists. Changing the target to OOo3.x
