------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Oct 18 19:39:54 -0700 2006 ------- Raindrops->OD Although I have described the latest situation through mails, this is to record the summary with this bug, so everything remains in one place, for all people to see. 1. Although you were able to recover the document, I was not even able to open the document with the same version of OOo (i.e., 2.0.4 Final). My PC is very powerful (Pentium 4 with HT, 3 GHz, with 1 GB memory, Win XP SP-2). I have closed all other applications to avoid loading. Even then my attempts failed. DEFINITELY there is another PC-specific factor here. Could it be the Java version we use? I am using J2SE 1.5.0_06-b05.) 2. After receiving the modified document, I have selected the ENTIRE document and reset the "keep with the next paragraph" property of ALL paragraphs. But even now the document fails often. If I use the Tools> Update> Page formatting, the repagination progress bar stops and then OOo hangs. The CPU reaches a steady 50% and remains at that level. I have noticed that the progress bar ALWAYS stops at specific points (either 55% or 20%). I guess that at these points, the algorithm must be doing something that is prone to "infinite aloop" behavior. This is another issue that can be investigated. 3. Under no circumstances should an algorithm be allowed to loop endlessly. There should be a limit on the number of loops: Once that limit is reached, the algorithm should exit from the loop. Even if the document is NOT fully optimized at this point, at least the OOo does not hang, and the user can go on working! Given the choice between losing all work and an odd-looking document, I'd take the latter. 4. The anchor and image should not be allowed to enter an endless chase. They should be moved together: Once a author has arranged them in a certain configuration, Ooo has no reason to change that. Specifically, the algorithm has a problem when images are placed in/around tables, with their anchors placed INSIDE a cell. (I had to do that to stop the images from drifting away from the text. See issue 60757 for a related problem). Even here, there should be a loop counter that exits the loop after certain iterations. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
