Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 82449
Gif Animations crash OO Impress
Last modified: 2007-12-19 16:15:12 UTC
Please help, Medium sized gif animations (50 or more frames) appear to crash openoffice v 2.2.0 when the slide is viewed. Open office becomes very sluggish, and all available memory is used up. Thanks! Dave Rector
Please attach the document if possible. Do you use the original OOo version from the official site or from another ditributor? Did you send a crash report? If so, which email adress did you use? Thanks in advance.
Thank you for your help, Since the only way to get out of Open Office is a reboot, I never get a crash report. The system becomes extremely sluggish because all available memory is used, as well as all of swap space. I have attached one of the files that is giving me trouble. Any advice, or work arounds would be very helpful. Since the file is larger than 1MB (~27MB) I am attaching a link to the file here: http://sleep25.vetmed.wsu.edu/UAB_talk_10_05_07_slides_rector_v2.odp Dave Rector *:^)
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am using the Open Office package that is supplied with Fedora 7, and have done all the updates available. Dave Rector *:^)
First I thought this is a Fedora problem but then I was able to reproduce on Suse with an original OOo2.3.0. The critical slides are 21,23,24. When they are shown in the main view the need of physical memory rises almost to the top. After reaching this also the complete swap memory is used until the system gets stuck. Offie crashes then and the memory is freed again. In 2.0 final not the complete memeory was used so I see this as broken.
sj->thb: you are having more experience with such kind of problems, it would be nice if you can take over this issue.
regression, usability as the version 2 work better
