Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 94331
Paste email address into outlook express hangs Writer
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:31:14 UTC
Email document as attachment from OpenOffice Writer. Outlook express "new message" opens. Copy the email address from the document in writer and try to paste it in the To field of Outlook Express: OpenOffice writer crashes. NL: Open een document in writer. Hierin staat een emailadres. Kopieer dit adres. Kies Verzenden >> document als email >> een "nieuw bericht" van outlook express verschijnt met als bijlage het document. Plak het emailadres in het AAN veld: Writer loopt vast.
I successfully replicated the bug on Windows XP Home in 680m17(build:9310). A good follow up test would be ,even if I send ,say Temp1 file in to attachment of the outlook and copy the address from completely different open office file say Temp2, It still freezes. Possible work around is If I open the Microsoft outlook first ,Click on New and Then click on Insert a File and I choose the open office file ,at this time pasting the email address wont freeze OO . I think this is a P3 issue because The application hangs in a special circumstances .
I have similar but not exactly equivalent problem. 1)Open simple document. 2)Copy a short part of text (in real life an email adress) 3)File > Send > Document as E-mail 4)Go in any other application (more logically, your email program, but I tested with notepad ++ and it works the same) 5)Paste in the target application : the target application freezes. It doesn't happen on GNU/Linux So it looks like the Send > Document as email corrupts the clipboard (actually, while the application is frozen, the clipboard doesn't work in any other application : for instance I can't use copy paste in this page) (Win XP OOo3.1)
@tom_sm :can you please change the "component" field of the issue to "framework"? and change the summary to something more general, as the problem happens with any OOo component (Writer, Calc, Impress) and is not related to a particular third party application. Thanks.
component to framework Now, who to assign this one to?
I think Carsten is the right one for this
Some questions... (1) Does this still occur in current OOo 3.2? (2) Is Office crashing or hanging? (2a) If crash: What about a crash report? (2b1) If hang: Forever or only "far too long"? (2b2) If hang: (see Task manager) Is soffice "stalled" or "using ~100% CPU"? Please comment here (based on findings in OOo 3.2 or DEV300 version only), thank you.
Yes, this issue still exists in 0O0 3.2. Office does not respond according to the task manager. CPU load is normal. This is the error I get in the event viewer: Application hang: szAppName : soffice.bin szAppVer : 3.2.9476.500 szModName : hungapp szModVer : 0.0.0.0 offset : 00000000
Same here : (1) still occur in current OOo 3.2 (2) OOffice hanging (2b1) Hang: till the message is email window is closed (see 3) (2b2)Is soffice is "stalled" (3) Additionnal info : the target application in which you paste hangs also. In normal use, this application is the email window : so you can't close it, so you have to kill OOo. But, if you paste in another application (like notepad++), this application will hang but your email window will behave normally. If you close this windows, it un-hangs both OOo and target application (notepad++).
I think the Subcomponent for this issue (www) is wrong.
