------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jan 17 19:46:57 -0800 2005 ------- Since i don't know exactly hot to classify that i put it on viewing. I write in english, although i write spanish as native. Also have tried to verify this haven't been reported... Since there are all related i will write the bugs found in this one. Open some MS Office with some drawings incrusted as OLE objects on it and some images incrusted as "Images" (All images are BMP) trying to edit some of the "OLE OBJECTS" will produce the following random results: #1: the edition will be sucessfull "OPTION 1": Will open a MSpaint instance, you can edit the OLE object (an Bmp image) and when you save the image (Using the paint option "Syncronize Untitled" or (in the spanish edition of windows) "Actualizar Untitled", the screen will not be updated (still be marked with a hatch pattern). Not at least you scroll to make the "OLE OBJECT" disappear off the screen and when return to it, it will appear OK. #2: The edition will be sucessfull "OPTION 2": Same case as above, except that everything will work as expected (the image will be actualized and everithing is OK), just have to exit using the "X" button of the MSPaint window, instead of saving option of MSPaint. #2: The OLE OBJECT will dissapear at random instances. and it will be unrecoverable via the undo system of OO. #3: Try to copy or cut an OLE Object after have edited 3 or 4 OLE objects. This will take a while to get... you will have to copy and paste some times (windows 2000) or you will get it at the first time (Windows XP) it will do... but you can't paste it anywhere. #4: When you have got the #3 bug above, then you **will** get this one: Trying to edit any OLE Object OO will generate the following mwssage "Error Activating Object: General OLE error". If you reached the #4 bug, then is matter of time than OO crashes or will corrupt the document. (i.e. i get one file of 170 MB after this...). I verified the same bug in: OO 1.4 English OO 1.4 Spanish OO 1.9.69 (680m69) English OO 1.9.69 Spanish Tested on the mechines where i work on... Windows 2000 Sp4 Windows XP sp2 5 machines Ram varies between 128 mb and 512 mb, all verified using memtest. i have files i can send you if requested. originally are between 5 mb - 170 mb but compressed are no more than 6 mb. contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
