Description trevinbeattie 2007-05-08 01:31:24 UTC 
I've created a chart where I'm trying to fit an equation to some data.  After
adding yet another column to the line data, the last column's line color is
nearly indistinguishable from the background, so I was trying to figure out how
to change it.  I found that the right-click context menu changes depending on
whether I single-click or double-click on the chart.

When I triple-click on the chart, OpenOffice stops responding.  My system's load
average and memory use start to shoot through the roof, and then it starts
thrashing.  Eventually I won't be able to do anything but reboot the machine. 
If I'm quick enough, I can recover by logging in remotely from another computer
and killing the soffice.bin process.

At the moment I don't know if this is a problem with charts in general or just
the specific data in my chart.  But it is repeatable with this particular
spreadsheet.  (I've done it three times.)

I tried with same version on Win2K and it worked as it should.
Leaving the issue unconfirmed for Linux.

Hi,

not reproducible with the new Chart module and also not reproducible using Windows.

But it's the wrong component, chganged to Chart and re-assigned.

Couldn't debug successfully on Linux yet, as the hang-up occurs while mouse and
keyboard are locked. But as this bug does not appear in the new chart (as fst
said before), I see this as "fixed in new chart due to re-implementation".

It may also depend on the system libraries.  I just tried manipulating the chart
on my home computer which has Fedora Core 6 with a vendor-packaged OpenOffice
2.0.4, and I get completely different behavior.  Sometimes when I double-click
and often when I triple-click, it immediately opens up a dialog box.  Usually
the part of the chart I clicked on is outlined.  It never hangs.

On my office computer where the problem occurs I have a modified version of Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation 3, with most of the Gnome libraries updated to
2.14.  The version of OpenOffice I'm running at the office was downloaded from
openoffice.org.

@trevinbeattie: can you confirm "fixed in new chart due to re-implementation" ?
Comment 7 trevinbeattie 2007-07-09 17:37:37 UTC 
Sorry, I can't.  I upgraded the OS and all applications on my office computer
last month to Fedora Core 6, which doesn't have this problem.

So that the issue does not appear in the new chart i will close it.
