------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Jan 14 21:12:54 -0800 2007 ------- a user in a network I administer reported the following problem: when pasting parts of web pages into a Writer document and then editing it (she mentioned removing images and changing text size), all ooo windows freeze and do not come back in an acceptable time frame (resulting in the application being killed). Environment: openoffice.org 2.0.2 on ubuntu 6.06 x86 Desktop install, AMD Sempron and 512 MB RAM I was not able to determine whether the visible images, spacer gifs or other parts of the webpage were the most problematic.I would expect ooo to load this stuff in the background and give up after a short timeout in favor of deniyng the user interactivity. In my case the user only wants the text of the web page but has no choice but dealing with all the complicated stuff when pasting (images, font, tables...) so if there is a way to just get the text, it would liberate her from much work and from the freeze-problem. On a bigger scale, I expect openoffice writer not to behave like a browser at all but instead make local copies of the images when the paste happens. According to the way that users behave/react, I have to assume that they expect this "offline behaviour" from a word processor and expect linked images which are loaded from the internet only from a browser (or maybe also from a webpage editor). So I suggest either making a separated webeditor component in openoffice or an option that lets the users choose between "transform linked objects to local copies" or "keep as links" with default="transform". --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
