------- Additional comments from majonis_jos...@openoffice.org Tue Mar 31 04:06:40 +0000 2009 ------- I was able to replicate this issue. I found that I did not have scroll the document to the right in order to make the program hang, the program would hang shortly after starting the import. Two interesting things occurred as I was testing this issue. In the sample document I notice two columns where there is a very long string. Removing these columns results in the CSV sheet importing without a crash. Thinking it was the length of the string which was causing the crash I created a single cell CSV file consisting of a long string I took from the sample document. As I tested documents with progressively shorter strings I noticed that calc would freeze for a time when trying to import the csv, but it would eventually open. The 75 character document took 13 seconds to open and the 100 character document took 2 minutes and 11 seconds to open. I think it is the presence of '%' characters which cause the document to hang on import. I took the original document from Turbolister and replaced every '%' character with an arbitrary character 'a', leaving the lengths of all cells unchanged. This modified document is imported to calc without hanging or crashing. I think this is a fairly serious bug because CSV files are based on ascii text and are meant to be used without regard to operating system or application. As the OO project prides itself on support for open standards it would look bad if a new user were to have problems opening a basic CSV file. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
