Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 99836
Spellchecker crashes Writer when right-clicking
Last modified: 2009-06-15 10:12:52 UTC
When viewing a document, right clicking a word with a red wavy line will crash Writer. Create new document, 'mispell' a word, right click, crash. No logs apparent. Screenshots to follow.

BTW I recently installed Pidgin (w/spellchecker) and have Asian fonts installed.

I checked with "Ooo 3.0.1 (DE) Multilingual version English UI WIN XP: [OOO300m15 (Build 9379)], installed zh-CN, activated Asian languages" and can NOT confirm the reported effect. @starrychloe: Please attach a sample document. Can you please also check with CALC and DRAW?
tl->starrychloe: Also please go to the extension manager and disable the extension pack for your language. Then have some text set to French or Spanish and see if misspelled words will crash the office in those languages as well. If not the problem is with the actual dictionaries and not the spell checker. In that case you may want to remover that extension and download the latest dictionaries for your language. In case you want to try out the latest dictionaries make your choice from one of the links below. http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/en_GB-oed http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/en_US-dict
It works in Draw and Calc. I disabled all extensions, and it still crashed. However there was still a red wavy line. Apparently you have to disable it, let it crash, then reload it for it to be truly disabled. Now that it is disabled, there is no wavy line and right click does not crash it. Enabled only Spanish extension, exited quickstarter, reloaded document, and it crashed again. Here is a sample document.

Not reproducible for me with "mispelled.odt"
Please consider the Pidgin angle.
MRU->SBA: this sounds quite similar to issue 100005, please also care about. Thanks.
Yeah! I found it first! I win!
Tried to reproduce the issue in OOo-dev 3.1.0 [(OOO310m7)(build:9393)]. The issue was not reproducible. Document "mispelled.odt" gave the same results.
Did you try installing GTK or aspell that comes with Pidgin?
Tested on built OOo310m7 that runs on hp laptop with vista -was not able to reproduce.
Tested on the OS Win XP and Build OOo310m7 (Build 9393) ---not able to reproduce
SBA: I can not see any general problem in OOO310_m11 (OOo 3.1 RC2) either. Spellchecking works in general on all platforms. This is tested automatically on every build. -> Set issue to "worksforme" SBA->starrychloe: So far, it looks strongly like that Pidgin software interferes with the operating system (mouse and keyboard use) in a way that keeps OOo from working normally. It seems like you are the very only one having this problem. Please assist to circle this in. (1) Please tell where you got that "Pidgin", what version of it you run and how you installed it. It is a client, I believe. (2) Can you confirm that you see no problem in the Office when that pidgin is completely switched off? (3) Did you hear any comments from other pidgin users about problems with any software?

SBA->starrychloe: (2) ? (3) ?
Closing issue as Worksforme.
