Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 4848
Open Office Calc crashes when opening attached document
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:19:35 UTC
Open Office Calc immediately crashes after opening the attached two MS Excel spreadsheets which have charts in them. The screen freezes, and all open instances of SOffice also stop responding. If you watch the memory counter in Task Manager, you see it slowly creep up to 45 Megs after a 2 minute period (looks like a slight memory leak). CPU utilization of the soffice.exe process also tops out at 100%. I am running Windows 2000 SP2 using the Sun JRE 1.3.1. Can reproduce this 100% of the time.
Created attachment 1640 [details] This is an excel chart with lots of data on memory usage of Jview.exe for an application problem we are having
It looks like the chart finally opens after waiting 4 minutes. Perhaps this isn't as serious as originally thought, however this is an unusually long time to open up a simple document. The 4 mintues of waiting is *AFTER* having Open Office Calc already open on the screen. I go to File Open and select the document and wait. When I am waiting for this document to open, all other Open Office processes are on hold until this opens. I am running a Pentium 2 550 MHz machine which should be fine for opening this document.
Hi Greg, the current Chart implementation uses a lot of memory storing information on each single point in the chart, so the more points, the more memory, the more time. As the new chart implementation is on it's way, I have to close this Issue as WONTFIX. Frank
wontfix, so it's closed
