------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Feb 5 21:20:00 -0800 2006 ------- Raindrops ->MRU, I did some further investigation, and now I have clinching evidences that this IS abnormal behavior: 1. Open another type of file first. (say Impress or Calc), and do some little work. (Note that we deliberately selected the FIRST file that is NOT used by writer.) Also, open the online help file (press F1). Now open the odt file I sent you and then try clicking on the vertical bar (or drag the elevator). When Writer gets busy (shows hourglass), try to switch to the first file. Logically, we should be able to work on this file while Writer is busy with the odt file. But you will not be able to switch, or work on the first file. Even the online help file cannot be used at this point. Conclusion-- The entire OOo becomes "busy"; not just the Writer. Also, this is not a "normal" background task; or a limitation that users can be content with. 2. OOo goes into meditation only when I click on the vertical scrollbar (or drag the elevator downwards). But till that VERY moment, Writer looks ready to receive user input. That means these two actions are confirmed triggers for the problem. On the other hand, if I use the Navigator to go to the bottom of the document, Writer does not hang at all. I can start work immediately and keep working without any hangs from Writer. After this, I can drag the elevator or click in the vertical scrollbar. Writer does NOT go into maintenance mode at all! Well, WHY doesn't Writer sense that maintenance is required in THIS case? The document's state is EXACTLY THE SAME: The only difference is that I used some other mechanism to go downwards. So why does Writer misbehave ONLY IF my first action is to go down in the document with those two mechanisms? 3. Just to eliminate the possibility of any left-over maintenance work in the document, I updated the document using the "Tools > Update > Update all" command; and then saved the document.After that, there should not be any maintenance work left. Even then Writer launches this so-called "maintenance task" when I reopen the document. BTW, when the entire updating takes just a couple of seconds, just what is that Writer does for so long? Certainly worth investigating with a debug version. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
