Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 10174
Spreadsheet with 3D charts crashes Win OS
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:20:45 UTC
I created a simple spread sheet with a matrix of data. Then I tried making charts of the data. The 3D feature looked promising. Then as I tried manipulating the chart, the entire PC would hang. Not even ctrl-alt-del would work. Sometimes the crash would occur when doing something as simple as trying to scroll left-right. I tried saving the file as .xls and then reloading. Yes the problem still occurs. This file can be shared with anyone who wants to investigate the problem.
Created attachment 4083 [details] spread sheet. Manipulating charts crashes Win OS
Wrong Component Set to Chart
Assigned to Thomas as he is the Chart guy. Frank
Please attach the doc again as Binary file (application octet-stream). Thx
I put the same spread sheet on a Linux machine. When working with the charts, there were occasional pauses in the response to the mouse. After a second or two, it came back. The harddrive was making noises during the "pauses", so probably there was some access of swap space.
Created attachment 4107 [details] Re-submit file as binary.
Reproducable (at least on my PC) way to make crash: * Open file * Move to right so charts are displayed on screen. * Use mouse with either the horizontal or vertical scroll bars to reposition the displayed image. * Move mouse back and forth rapidly. For me, the PC totally hangs within a few seconds. There is no problem when spread sheet is repositioned so only cells, but no charts are being displayed. There is no problem with same file on Red Hat Linux 8.0
It sounds like a problem with your Grafics-Driver. Disable Open GL support, maybe it helps. For further information please use only the Mailinglists.
