------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Mar 1 12:28:33 -0800 2006 ------- Bad news. Here's the report I wrote up this afternoon: In my first post, I got dumped out twice on a Win2K SP 4 system running 2.0.2RC1. 2.0.2RC4 doesn't fix this... I got kicked out of OO writer again (1PM 3/1/06). All of these are on a laptop running XP 2002 SP 2. I recreated what I was doing and repeated the dump. I narrowed it down to these actions (1:10 PM 3/1/06): Load dissertation Tools->Options->Load+Save->Save Autorecover->1 minute[1] (10 does it too) Go to Table of Contents and jump to Section 2.4 (Research Questions). Put cursor after 1st question and *KEEP PLAYING* with OO: a. I did Enter (it will Autoformat) the Numbering, b. CTRL+Z that c. try selecting the footnote and cut and past the footnote here and there. d. type in something e. CTRL+Z f. Rinse. Repeat. Basically, try to be using some aspect of CTRL+Z while OO writer tries to Auto save. I got an hourglass and then everything just disappeared. I got this dump on next start: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE errormail:errormail PUBLIC "-//OpenOffice.org//DTD ErrorMail 1.0//EN" "errormail.dtd"> <errormail:errormail xmlns:errormail="http://openoffice.org/2002/errormail" usertype=""> <reportmail:mail xmlns:reportmail="http://openoffice.org/2002/reportmail" version="1.1" feedback="false" email=""> <reportmail:title></reportmail:title> <reportmail:attachment name="description.txt" media-type="text/plain;charset=UTF-8" class="UserComment"/> <reportmail:attachment name="user.dmp" media-type="application/octet-stream" class="UserDump"/> </reportmail:mail> <officeinfo:officeinfo xmlns:officeinfo="http://openoffice.org/2002/officeinfo" build="680m5(Build:9011)" platform="wntmsci10.pro" language="" procpath="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\program\" exceptiontype="0xC0000005" product="OpenOffice.org 2.0"/> <systeminfo:systeminfo xmlns:systeminfo="http://openoffice.org/2002/systeminfo"> <systeminfo:System name="Windows NT" version="5.1" build="2600" locale="0x00000409"/> <systeminfo:CPU type="x86"/> </systeminfo:systeminfo> <errormail:Stack type="Win32"> <errormail:StackInfo pos="0" ip="0x00000000" rel="0xFFC00000" name="soffice.BIN" path="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\program\"/> </errormail:Stack> <errormail:Checksums type="MD5"> <errormail:Checksum sum="0x4E63B74EC7FACCCC737954F001B01FAA" bytes="2478080" file="soffice.BIN"/> </errormail:Checksums> </errormail:errormail> Now that I'm done writing this note, I'm going to try recreate the problem... it crashed but no hourglass this time - just froze and then disappeared a few seconds later (1:55PM 3/1/06). I was "playing" with it but doing step (a) wait 5 seconds (b) wait 5 seconds, etc.... for about 3 minutes. The dump on startup is identical to previous: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE errormail:errormail PUBLIC "-//OpenOffice.org//DTD ErrorMail 1.0//EN" "errormail.dtd"> <errormail:errormail xmlns:errormail="http://openoffice.org/2002/errormail" usertype=""> <reportmail:mail xmlns:reportmail="http://openoffice.org/2002/reportmail" version="1.1" feedback="false" email=""> <reportmail:title></reportmail:title> <reportmail:attachment name="description.txt" media-type="text/plain;charset=UTF-8" class="UserComment"/> <reportmail:attachment name="user.dmp" media-type="application/octet-stream" class="UserDump"/> </reportmail:mail> <officeinfo:officeinfo xmlns:officeinfo="http://openoffice.org/2002/officeinfo" build="680m5(Build:9011)" platform="wntmsci10.pro" language="" procpath="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\program\" exceptiontype="0xC0000005" product="OpenOffice.org 2.0"/> <systeminfo:systeminfo xmlns:systeminfo="http://openoffice.org/2002/systeminfo"> <systeminfo:System name="Windows NT" version="5.1" build="2600" locale="0x00000409"/> <systeminfo:CPU type="x86"/> </systeminfo:systeminfo> <errormail:Stack type="Win32"> <errormail:StackInfo pos="0" ip="0x00000000" rel="0xFFC00000" name="soffice.BIN" path="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\program\"/> </errormail:Stack> <errormail:Checksums type="MD5"> <errormail:Checksum sum="0x4E63B74EC7FACCCC737954F001B01FAA" bytes="2478080" file="soffice.BIN"/> </errormail:Checksums> </errormail:errormail> And, after running drwatson (V1.00b, stock one that ships with XP), it dumped again BUT this time it flashed a "I'm crashing" dialog (which I even caught with MWSnap). Here's the dump this time (2:20PM): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE errormail:errormail PUBLIC "-//OpenOffice.org//DTD ErrorMail 1.0//EN" "errormail.dtd"> <errormail:errormail xmlns:errormail="http://openoffice.org/2002/errormail" usertype=""> <reportmail:mail xmlns:reportmail="http://openoffice.org/2002/reportmail" version="1.1" feedback="false" email=""> <reportmail:title></reportmail:title> <reportmail:attachment name="description.txt" media-type="text/plain;charset=UTF-8" class="UserComment"/> <reportmail:attachment name="user.dmp" media-type="application/octet-stream" class="UserDump"/> </reportmail:mail> <officeinfo:officeinfo xmlns:officeinfo="http://openoffice.org/2002/officeinfo" build="680m5(Build:9011)" platform="wntmsci10.pro" language="" procpath="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\program\" exceptiontype="0xC0000005" product="OpenOffice.org 2.0"/> <systeminfo:systeminfo xmlns:systeminfo="http://openoffice.org/2002/systeminfo"> <systeminfo:System name="Windows NT" version="5.1" build="2600" locale="0x00000409"/> <systeminfo:CPU type="x86"/> </systeminfo:systeminfo> <errormail:Stack type="Win32"> <errormail:StackInfo pos="0" ip="0x00000000" rel="0xFFC00000" name="soffice.BIN" path="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\program\"/> </errormail:Stack> <errormail:Checksums type="MD5"> <errormail:Checksum sum="0x4E63B74EC7FACCCC737954F001B01FAA" bytes="2478080" file="soffice.BIN"/> </errormail:Checksums> </errormail:errormail> I'll attach the snap of the crashing dialog to this issue - BTW, why does it SHOW a crashing dialog with drwatson running and NOTHING when drwatson is NOT running? (on XP) My feelings are mixed: I'm GLAD I can duplicate it and then I'm SAD that a developer will have to spend time on this. BTW, in my UNFORTUNATE experience, whatever is causing writer to crash seems to clobber ALL auto-recovery files such that auto-recover rolls back to latest instance file was manually saved! This is what prompted me to waste a solid 2 hours on recreating and reporting this bug! [1] When I set Autorecover saving to 1 minute and then keep typing, OO writer does NOT autosave. I have to pause writing for almost half a minute for it to do it! While I can see how it's not nice to be 'interruped' with a slow save of a big file to, say, an USB 1.1 flashdisk ... but I'd rather be interrupted than lose 10 minutes of an inspiration (read:furious typing)! Maybe an option to force-saving even if user is actively typing in the Tools->Options? I'll attach the pictures - please e-mail me for dissertation file. It's defended but unreleased (yet). It's about 800KB. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
