Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 96226
Floating frame target cannot be resolved -> Non Responsive Hang and General Internet Error
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:15:38 UTC
Bug Description: I load odt. file. File appears in OOo.writer Program freezes. In directory, I see ".~lock.filename.odt#" Wait several minutes - - - Alert beep "General Internet Error has occurred" Error message window will not close. Requires shut down from Task Manager. Error occurs in 2.3, 2.4 and 3.0 versions. I suspect that there is a broken link in the file. But I cannot determine that, since the program freezes.

I checked with "Ooo 3.0.0 RC3 Multilingual version German UI WIN XP: [OOO300m8 (Build9357)]" and can confirm the reported problem. After some minutes I get an error Message "A general Error in the internet sector occured" (translated from: Ein allgemeiner Fehler im Internetbereich trat auf"). The problem seems to be caused by an OLE object in the document (can be selected from Navigator). I was able to open the document without any problem after I removed the OLE object. May be this is a DUP of Issue 7553 or Issue 63315?
Due to program freeze, cannot locate, edit or remove OLE object. NAVIGATOR goes non responsive when OLE is selected. (Vers. 2.3) When loaded by Vers. 2.4, or 3.0, on a LAN Connected machine, the program freezes before activating NAVIGATOR to find the errant OLE object. And why would the OLE object cause an internet error? Is there some setting that would resolve this bug issue? The original file was created by copying an internet page into it. I have never had a problem copying an internet page into WordPerfect.
I tried with text from <http://canada.theoildrum.com/tag/wind> steps to reproduce: 1. Open URL 2. Search Page for "Birds" to find the text 3. Mark contents: click in front of fast "!" and drag mouse pointer with pushed left mouse button until first "F" in heading of next article will be marked. 4. Press <cntrl>+<c> 5. open nes OOo WRTER text document 6. click into document 7. <cntrl>+<v> expected: all contents should be visible actual: in table left from text "This post was written by Alan Drake in ..." only a placeholder appears for "object1" 8. Menu 'File -> Save as - browse for suitable folder - select name "test1.odt" <ok> 9. make navigator visible 10. Go to "OLE objects" in navigator and doubleclick "Object1" Placeholder will eb slected as expected 11. Press key "Delete" to delete object 12. close OOo 13. Try to open "test2.odt" from WIN EXPLORERhttp://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=62550 It should open without problems as expected 14. close OOo 15. Try to open "test1.odt" WIN EXPLORER contents appears as expected, but after a short momentt sand clock appears and OOo hangs So we know that that OLE object "somehow" is the reason I'm also able to reproduce the problem with a small part of the web page containing only little more than the object. It seems to be some kind of "form". I did my tests with I checked with "Ooo 3.0.0 RC3 Multilingual version German UI WIN XP: [OOO300m8 (Build9357)]". Someone with more knowledge than me should find out - how that hang appears - whether it's a DEFECT or whether an Enhancement Request is required - whether the problem is related to or a DUP of an other Issue with similar www contents problem
MRU->MAV: please ave a look. It seems that OOo is not able to rsolve the target link of the floating frame in the attached document.
