[ooo-build] word processor exits without error after paste of html text

Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I pasted some relatively complex text from wikipedia (I pasted "big o notation"). This is on ubuntu 7. After pasting things seem fine, but as you scroll through what was pasted you will see that embedded images are being retrieved. After a few of these I am seeing the application exit. Obviously you might say "dont do that" :-} but I only supply the example as a potential repro.

Thanks

This is similar to what I've experienced with the openoffice.org OOo version. See: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=77322

In that report I was not able to reproduce on the Ubuntu OOo version, but it appears that you may have managed to reproduce on (U)OOo as well. Can you describe in a similar manner as I have done for the http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=77322 bug so that it can be tested on the (U)OOo version as well?

Which bit? There were a number of parts to the thread in that bug. Is it
trying your specific url? Following your installation instructions?
Installing your specific ubunto release? Let me know then perhaps I can
fill it in.

regards

Chris

The bits about:
=====================
Copy & paste from website into Writer causes Writer to crash:

Go to via SeaMonkey 1.1.1 (or 1.1.2) or Firefox 2.0.0.3:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DIYMarketing

Select:
====
CD Distribution Materials

 [thru]

      Artwork for Ubuntu stickers
====
Copy using Ctrl-C

Now Paste into a clean, newly opened OOo 2.2 Writer doc using
Shift-Insert or from the OOo menu Edit|Paste.
==============================

Change the url (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DIYMarketing) to whatever you were using previously on wikipedia and then explain what parts of the page you copy & pasted into (U)OOo similar to what I did on my OOo bug report. Perhaps I (or someone else) can do the same and reproduce; I can test on both (U)OOo 2.2 and (O)OOo 2.2* and also on StarOffice 8 (Update 6).

*(O)OOo meaning: OOo from openoffice.org rather than the Ubuntu specific version.

With a similar problem even after downloading the full OOsuite with synaptic, I booted to windows copied and pasted the problem hotmail page to microsoft word. ( as I recall it, the paste may not have replicated the web graphics correctly, but my only interest was the text content of the email )

Rebooted to #64Ubuntu 8.04 and managed to open the saved document with OO2.4 but only after after first dealing with an OO warning popup headed "This document contains macros"

I then opened OO again, went to Tools/Options/Security/Macro Security and changed the security level to low.

That did not fix the problem but did allow me to see the message content of the .doc without a warning popup

The attached odt file includes text pasted from an html page and has been saved just before a crash occurred. I think this file give us the possibility to track back the problem because it is quite simple and includes only one type of objects.

I can't understand why this bug doesn't have the priority it should. Waiting for OO 3.0 to solve the problem is not really a solution. A lot of people using OO 2.4 try to paste html contents in their documents. This is a daily practice for really many people. It is like a suicide for OO to leave bugs like this such long time unsolved.

I think it ends being due to a lack of manpower, there are, I think, only about 45 people worldwide actually working on OpenOffice.org development. At least that is the number I have heard before. And being how huge the project is and how many bugs there are some bugs end up not getting fixed for a long time.

Thanks, if it still shows up with Ubuntu 3.0 builds I will have to ping ooo-build developers about the issue since we generally just apply ooo-build patches to stock OOo and don't change that much ourselves.

I wanted to some information (cell usage) from the webpage for future reference. I copied and pasted the matter (text tables and figures) in the openoffice. As I pasted the text it crashed without any error. It restarts and tries to recover the untitled file but there are no content in the file.

Earlier it was working fine. Hence, I tired to open a file that I had created last year and saved. When I tried to open the old file containing matter from the webpage it crashes again.

Resolution needs to be in (U)OOo 2.4.x as 8.04 is an LTS and will not likely transition to OOo 3.0 for some time (ever?). Further, OOo 3.0 is not a panacea even for 8.04 as OOo 3.0 has other issues that are far more significant than this bug in 2.4.x.

I just found out that the crash always happens exactly at the moment before the Microsoft ad is about to get visible on the screen. I filed a similar bug recently which seems to be related to this one, as the crash happens with the same document (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/298644). The difference there is that I do not even have to scroll through the document to produce the crash.

This little cheat (Or trick, my english is not very good that you can see) is not the solution always but in the most of the cases let's me paste a web page.

I woul'd like that somebody fix it because it's a pitty. OO is one of the most important icon of the open source software.

This must be a very serius problem because, like i'm saying, is in OO a long time ago and i woul'd like to help with something to fix this bug. If my help is needed for something or somebody, writte me (I'm in the list of this bug)

I'll repeat my previous - the test file used is l.odt as provided by
kostas (http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16324916/l.odt):

====
Hardy & Gutsy (32bit) - both fully updated.

StarOffice 8/11 (Gutsy&Hardy): no issue
Ubuntu OOo 2.3.0 (Gutsy): no issue
Ubuntu OOo 2.4.1 (Hardy): crashes (repeatedly)

This looks as if it might be a bug in (U)OOo 2.4.1.

and will modify to:

====
Hardy & Intrepid (32bit) - both fully updated.

Standard OOo 2.4.2 (Intrepid & Hardy): no issue

This bug is _definitely_ a bug in Ubuntu OOo 2.4.2 and is not associated

I am the originator of the upstream OOo bug

The only reason why it has not been closed (yet), is that there is no

Actually Hardy/Intrepid only have 2.4.1. The reason I pushed the milestone back to jaunty-alpha-3 was due to the fact that openoffice.org 1:3.0.0-6ubuntu1 still hasn't built yet even though it was uploaded a few weeks ago due to needing MIR processsing on several packages. I can no longer reproduce this bug with the new 3.0.0 for intrepid that is in the openoffice-pkgs ppa.

You are of course correct about 2.4.1 - I had all running at the same
time & posted the wrong version for Ubuntu. I'll try the ppa package on
a test machine. Tried it awhile back and it was still too buggy at that
time. Thanks.

Don,

Did you actually upgrade to the new packages? All you needed to do was the add the deb line to your sources.list and then update the packages list on your system in your package manager and then run upgrade in the package manager. You can tell if you upgraded because OOo will now be version 3.0.1 on your system as shown via Help->About OpenOffice.org

I did the test with this site: www.tt.com
When first I marked only a part of the site, OOo Writer crashed. It needs to load all the links and comments, and if you move the scrollbar while loading, writer crashes.

After I did the marking with Ctrl + A, then copy (Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V), and nothing crashed. I had to remove all comments and OOoWriter doesn't load the css-sheet to formate the text so that you have difficulties to find all the paragraphs you copied. But no crash!

Actually there appears to be a regression.

In testing http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16324916/l.odt again with the current Ubuntu:
$ cat /usr/lib/openoffice/program/versionrc

Both from the ppa on jaunty, and from the standard install with karmic (beta), the file crashes (U)OOo. It does not crash standard OOo:

I have filed this bug in OO bugzilla but this bug does not occur in the native version of OO writer.

This is the link: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=106209

I've filed the and in Ubuntu launchpad more than a week ago but the bug is not even assigned yet.
The link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/469411

I consider that the bug is very important, especially for me (I have to write a lot of reports lately and I paste a lot of text and images from Wikipedia all the time).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. select the first 1/3 of this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_war_in_Afghanistan and especially the many flags of the belligerents
2. copy and paste it in OO writer
3. wait 2-6 seconds (a mouse scroll may be needed in order the images to be visible for you and to be downloaded by OO writer)
Actual Results:
OO writer closes in 2-7 seconds

Tor, I think that this can help.
The bugs are connected according to me and the reasons that make me think in that way is that the hang of OO happens when you use the native version and the crash - when the Novel-patched go-openoffice is in use.

Especially about the "hang bug", I've just tested the latest OO 3.1.1 under win xp and the 'hang' occurred and again no crash.

Under Arch Linux (where both version are present in the Arch repositories) everything is absolutely the same way. Native OO - hang, go-OO - crash.

Hmm, I don't know why you call the Sun version "native", that's a bit misleading, as it would imply that the go-oo version is somehow "foreign"? (Cf. "native" code vs. "managed" or "interpreted" code.) Also note that it's not just Novell that has created the patches that make up go-oo.

But anyway, if the Sun OOo hangs when doing something, and the go-oo one crashes in the same situation, then clearly both are equally broken;) Whether the root cause is the same in that case I don't know, might not be. With the "webdav/http crack" I mentioned in comment #1 I meant stuff present only in go-oo.

Anyway, taking this bug.

In the bug report on the OO bugzilla the OO Team and developers call it the "native" version. And because the bug (the crash) occurs only in go-oo, the OO developers rejected the bug report.

OK. (It is of course in their interest to make go-oo seem "foreign". Although it might not even be their intention, they might just have chosen the word without thinking...)

Anyway, if you saw a hang in the Sun version, and that can be repeated, surely that is a (probably separate) problem in their version too then, and you should report that to them?

(As such I am not so sure this bug is that *really* serious (I have classified it as "Medium"), after all once one have noticed that a certain thing causes a crash, one just learns not to do it again. Pasting stuff from web pages into OOo is not one of its main use cases at customers I think?)

@Xtigyro: Are you sure the bug is fixed for you with OpenSuse (Tor's fix has not been backported to OpenSuses stable 3.1 version as far as I can see)? You might also mix up a bit things about upstream here: The go-oo (or ooo-build) project is upstream, OpenSuse and Ubuntu are ("downstream") distributions using this project. The OpenSuse<->go-oo relation is however not a standard distribution<->upstream relation as they are both affilliated with Novell (eg. use the Novell bugzilla bug tracker).

It seems to be more difficult to trigger than before, but as I said it is still fairly reliably triggered for me (what works most of the time is scrolling while it is loading, so the images are not on the screen and immediately scrolling back. The scrollbar than "hangs" and then it crashes).

I still can't get it to crash with the l.odt from the Ubuntu bug report with a self-built current "master" (i.e. something getting close to what will be 3.2.1) on openSUSE 11.2. I feel tempted to resolving as WORKSFORME. Or at leaast the platform should be changed to Ubuntu?

Actually I'd be fine with it if you want to close it - cause it WORKSFORME now as well ;-):
I can't reproduce it (it hangs and stutters but does not crash) with the alpha version of ubuntu 10.04 (either 32Bit or 64Bit) anymore (openoffice.org: 3.2.0~rc4-1ubuntu1). I can still reproduce the crash in a virtual machine with ubuntu 9.10 and openoffice.org 3.1. I could try it with a self-compiled version of oo-build master and ubuntu 9.10 again - but after all that is nothing the "normal" user will see anyway...

I can't reproduce this. However I'm using Openoffice 3.2. Could you try to reproduce this bug on ubuntu 10.10 for example live cd version?
