Description arvidtp 2008-07-17 19:28:17 UTC 
Scrolling in the font menu with font preview on crashes OpenOffice 3.0b2 consistently after about 10 
seconds of scrolling using either mouse scrollwheel, clicking in empty space in scrollbar, dragging the 
scrollbar "blob", or even with the arrow keys. Does not seem to be a specific font triggering it  - it seems 
to happen at different places in the menu at different times. Does not seem to generate a crashlog. 
Happens regardless of the state of "Font History" in preferences. Crash does not happen when "Show 
Preview of Fonts" is turned off.

oh - I forgot: Mac OS X 10.5.4

1. Does the problem happen with "OpenOffice X11" or "OpenOffice Aqua"?
2. Please open the fontlist, read the fontname at the bottom while scrolling very slowly until it crashes
3. Try again with font preview disabled until the last fontname above shows up. Which fontname is below 
that?

Added macport on CC + setting keyword

@hdu : 3.0b2 is probably Aqua :) And the crash looks similar to the one I mentionned in issue 90575  

Does the crash still occur with the fix fne included in a11y02 ? 

Here I can't reproduce with my own build, after 3 minutes of playing with the scrollbar( Mac OS X 
10.5.0). But I only use DEV300_m23, so the problem is maybe caused by something else.

@arvidtp : can you please tell us more ? Do you use Intel or PowerPC ? Does a crash report appear when 
OpenOffice.org is crashing ? If so, please attach it on the issue. thanks

Can anyone from the community confirm this problem?

I found the problem a while ago, but lost the link to this issue, and could not
find it again. Actually - i couldn't even figure out how to get back to issue
tracker - that should be made much more obvious on the website - the project
would probably get more bug reports/feedback.

It was a font called "Bauhaus 93" (i think - i could have the number wrong) that
was causing the crash (Mac os x 10.5, intel). Once i disabled it, everything was
fine. I could send it to someone for testing.

I have no idea what the root cause of the issue is, but it seems that certain
fonts can cause this crash on mac.

I dont have a crash report of it, and I'm on a windowz box right now.

cheers!

I got the font. Need to test now...
Comment 8 eric.savary 2008-12-02 17:18:33 UTC 
I couldn't reproduce the crash with this font.
