------- Additional comments from lhor...@openoffice.org Sun Apr 5 15:44:18 +0000 2009 ------- I reinstalled 310m5 from my earlier download and picked an arbitrary test file to export as pdf. Immediate crash. I moved the temp file back to default location and tried again on the same file. Now I have the spinning beach ball and no progress on the pdf bar at the bottom of the screen. Activity monitor shows kernal_task taking about 40% my cpu and OpenOffice as not responding but still taking about 40% of my cpu. The % for the two aren't identical but seem to rise and fall together. Nothing is currently showing up in Console. As soon as I force quit (quit didn't work) OOo, the kernal_task also disappeared and cpu activity went back to a more normal level. I tried one more time in case changing the temp folder path and not restarting was a problem. This also produced an immediate crash. I moved aside the OpenOffice.org folder in ~/Library/Application Support and restarted 310m5. Another instant crash on attempting to create a pdf file. I created a new file with one word of text. That did not crash on creating a pdf. I added a very simple equation. That did not crash on creating a pdf. I copied all the equations from the file that was crashing. That did not crash on creating a pdf. I copied the rest of the crashing file. That did not crash on creating a pdf. I put back my OpenOffice.org file in Application Support and opened a new file using my text template. That did not crash on creating a pdf. I copied the contents of the broken file into the empty template file and got an immediate crash. I quit the restarted OOo and restarted again. I opened a new text document (with my template) and copied and pasted from the beginning of the document until I got a crash on creating a pdf. It turned out the first equation was a problem. The problem seems in part to be files with equations containing Greek letters. Anything else I can pdf fine, but even the simplest file with a Greek character in it crashes in 310m5. (Is there any connection between this and the fact that in OOo, the Symbol font does _not_ produce the Greek alphabet as it does in other applications?) (Hey what gives? Now after all this experimenting the pdf icon in my palate is grayed out. Ok. Restarting fixed that.) I have added more equations - without Greek or symbols and still can get a crash. But I can put in a simple equation like x^2 and that doesn't crash. >From further experimenting, it seems that I cannot use Greek (at least not >%DELTA) nor operations ( at least not +) without causing a crash, but that I can do subscripts and superscripts. It's definitely back to 301 for me. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
