Issue ID: 125631
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Randomly locks up
Product: Calc
Version: 4.1.1
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: ui
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: jimbosal...@gmail.com
Been struggling with this since before I installed the 4.1.1 update. I guess I
was overly optimistic that the upgrade would solve the problem. When an update
didn't do it, I installed 4.1.1 fresh, after an uninstall. No difference.
I can not seem to find a pattern that is consistant.
The duration between lock-ups is completely random, as far as I can tell.
Sometimes it locks up while I am entering (text or numeral) data into cells.
It has locked up when I have many cells highlighted, while I am getting ready
to make a format change, like changing the background, or adding borders. But
it does it, BEFORE I get the chance to click the format selection. OIt doesn't
seem to matter if I used the mouse, or keyboard to make the highlight.
It has never locked up on me when I have the format cells window open. Dumb
luck?
Sometimes it locks up during a save.
It has locked up during autosaves, A LOT.
It's rare to see it lock up the same way two times in a row, but autosave has
done it quite a few times.
Sometimes it locks up a few seconds, or minutes after an auto or manual save.
Sometimes it locks up after very little user interfacing, sometimes it locks up
after 5 minutes of intense manual data updating.
Sometimes it locks up when I change tabs, sometimes while I am on the same tab.
Sometimes it locks up within minutes of restarting Calc, sometimes it is DAYS.
( I rarely restart my computer, but even then, some of the locks have happened
within minutes of a hard boot. )
I have no need to export to another spreadsheet software, so I only save using
the default settings, in a folder designated for my business documents on my
C:/ drive.
It happens with the spreadsheet I have with 20 tabs, and it has happened with
spreadsheets with only one tab. None of the 20 pages have an extreme amount of
data or formattng. I simply use different tabs to sort product types. A
typical page does not even require side-scrolling to see everything, and
scrolling down more than a page is unusual. I typically use an 8-font, and 90%
view size.
I have tried closing all other open programs, after a fresh hard boot, and then
opening Calc - made no difference.
I don't do anything fancy. I'm just using the spreadsheet to keep track of
inventory, which data I manually update, and to help me calculate prices on
items I an looking at purchasing. (You know, if I want to sell it for this
price, and I have these fixed overheads, how much am I willing to pay for it,
and still turn a profit?)
I do have a few formulas that get data from other tabs withing the same
spreadsheet, but I can not see a connection betweening editing the source data,
and these lock ups.
I'm using Windows8 version 6.3 build 9600 on an HP with a core i3 processor.
I'm not very good with searches. I seem to lack the knack for selecting the
right terms to search for. If I have screwed up, and posted it in the wrong
place, or if there is already a post on this issue, please be kind, and point
me to the right area. Please also accept my apologies for my error.
I'm hoping someone has a solution, and that it's something I have set
incorrectly on my system. I could use help with this.
Your patience is most appreciated.
