Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 82969
Export to SVM produces unloadable file
Last modified: 2013-02-07 21:54:36 UTC
To reproduce: 1) Open the attached ProblemPicture.odg 2) Select the TextBox 3) File->Export to SVM 4) Insert -> Picture -> From File OO Draw crashes, when file from step 3 is selected. The same procedure works, if you export to WMF instead.

There seams to be something special with ProblemPicture.svm I cannot produce a crash, if I follow the description; exporting to svm and inserting svm work fine here (WinXP, OOo2.3 ans SRC680m233) in general. But I can reproduce the crash with the attached svm-file. Please tell us your operating system and whether you use an original OOo-version or a version from your OS provider for example.
I've set the OS to Windows XP, the OO About box just says, that it's version 2.3.0, which I have downloaded some weeks ago myself, so not OS provided. Strange that you cannot reproduce the bug itself, but only the crash with the broken SVM file. anything I can do to troubleshoot it?
Yesterday evening I could also reproduce the problem with the latest Ubuntu (7.10) and latest OpenOffice. Reproduction of the defect included first to export it as SVM and then trying to include that as a picture. My suspicion is that this bug is somehow connected to having to bulleted lists in there. As soon as you merge them, this bug is gone.
I can reproduce the bug in src680m233.
I can reproduce the bug with Windows Vista, OO2.3.0
I found the origin of the problem. When you have in a draw:text-box an empty paragraph (not in the first position), I have the bug. ex : - 1 : product the bug <draw:text-box> <text:p text:style-name="P1">Test</text:p> <text:p text:style-name="P1"/> </draw:text-box> - 2 : don't product the bug <draw:text-box> <text:p text:style-name="P1"/> </draw:text-box> - 2 : don't product the bug <draw:text-box> <text:p text:style-name="P1">Test</text:p> </draw:text-box>
Created attachment 49775 [details] another sample document that product the problem
The same problem is visible too with an ODS (that contains an empty paragraph ) imported in an ODG file (cf "sameBugWithOds.odg").
