------- Additional comments from 0t...@openoffice.org Sat Jan 2 17:11:49 +0000 2010 ------- This is a repeat of issue 108002 which was closed prematurely. The bug was initially reported against Debian. Clearly some information was lost when the Debian maintainer posted it here. I can't reopen the old issue because I don't own it in your system. In response to the closer's comments: > @0tim0 > "Also note, my colleage experienced similar problems with his OO before > moving to 3.x. Now he doesn't have this issue." > > Does that mean the issue is not reproducible anymore? "my colleage" is not me. I'm saying my colleage on a Mac used to have this issue on 2.x. I also had this issue on 2.x. Now that we're running 3.x, he no longer has this issue, but I still do. Please read the full description. > I cannot reproduce this in 3.1.1 or later *native* version on Windows. > Please check this in a *current* and *native* OOo version (from our site). I don't think testing this issue on Windows is going to help a lot. I'm downloading the Debian version from your website now, but I'm not confident it's going to be easy to get installed under Debian Sid. In the mean time, do you think you can at least give it a shot on Debian? Original description: ---------------------------- For several major releases now (2.x and later) I have had trouble with embedded images mysteriously disappearing from a document while I'm editing it. I have recently done some tests to narrow down (but not determine) the cause. I work in an office with two other people and frequently exchange OO writer documents with them. One of these people works on a Mac and the other on Windows. I'm on Debian Sid. I experience this problem when I receive a document created by the Mac user. Essentially, after some time editing a document, 50% or more of the embedded images (png, jpeg, whatever) break. They become blank boxes with a "Read-Error" message and an icon one might see on a web page with a broken image. Note that the images load perfectly well when I first open the document. Upon saving and closing the document (after the images are broken), I see them missing from my document entirely upon re-opening. However, if I copy the image objects out of the original file, paste them into my new document, and save them before the autosave runs, I can usually work around the issue. I have noticed recently that this breakage actually occurs when Writer's auto-save feature kicks on. This problem does not appear to crop up on any documents I create myself. In addition, if I manage to save Mac created documents myself (re-adding images as necessary), then usually there is no breakage down the road (at least until my colleage edits it again). To reproduce the problem, here are the steps: 0. (optional) change the autosave period to 1 min 1. open the document I provide 2. make a small edit to the document, perhaps adding text, but do not save it 3. wait for autosave to run 4. check for any broken images I will submit 3 files initially. One file created by my colleage on his Mac, and two screenshots of what the brokenness looks like on my machine. Note that not every image is broken every time. In most "realistic" documents we use every day, about 50% of the images become broken, often every other one. For some reason in this test document, almost all of the images have become broken in most tests, but not always. Also note, my colleage experienced similar problems with his OO before moving to 3.x. Now he doesn't have this issue. The version he is currently running will be embedded in the .odt I provide. Please let me know what else I can do to provide you the information you need. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
