You narrowed the problem. I tested it without and with spelling and grammar checks. Since that identifies a new problem (no word is over 60 characters yet it jams up), I'm opening a new issue and about to close this one. I could change the title here but not the leading posts, so, to make it easier to understand, I'll open anew and refer back to here for some details. The zone of doubt left will be discussed there.

I would suggest setting this issue as a duplicate of your new issue that spell-checking/grammar-checking those 60 letter random words makes something hang. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=99029 --- Additional comments from nicklevin...@openoffice.org Fri Feb 13 08:06:20 + 2009 --- I've emailed a file for testing (to cmc cc: mru). It's not confidential, but, until or unless we understand more, it should be considered dangerous to existing data, so I emailed it compressed and I don't want to put it on an open site. However, you may post it if you conclude that it's not a danger or that only reasonably cautious people who will take responsibility for fixing their own computer systems will handle it. Here's a replication procedure: 1. Decompress the file. (I believe it's safe while in its compressed state.) 2. Open in gedit or, probably, any text editor. 3. Open Calc and Writer in OOo 3.0.1. 4. Select all in the gedit file. 5. Copy from gedit. 6. Paste into Writer. 7. Page up to the top and then back down. Within a handful of seconds, the screen will freeze. Page Up, Page Down, and scrolling will fail. The insertion point won't move. No menus will open except the service menu in the title bar. If you use the service menu to move the file to another workspace, it will move but only the titlebar will be visible. Alt-F4 will produce a Force Quit alert. If you okay Force Quit, all of OOo will disappear. Two new facts: --- The encoding, according to an email service, is base64. --- This long string is not identical to the string that was originally discussed, yet the effect is the same. That it's not the same string is due to my having made a new (nonconfidential) spreadsheet (available on request), with different content, and emailing it to an address that wouldn't likely exist, causing an immediate bounce, in which the bounce message included this very long string evidently generated from the spreadsheet file. --- I was able to restart OOo during the same Linux login session, which is an improvement from the experience in my first post above. Thus, something in what I did the first time had the additional effect of preventing program restart without an intervening login, but maybe solving the narrower problem will moot the restart one.

Without a route to reproduce (I didn't see one here, but perhaps I missed it), or a backtrace, its hard to say what it could be. One topical possibility is that the text contains characters that cannot be drawn with any installed font and so falls into the bug of #i99081#, but I only mention that as an example of the type of crash that it may be. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The problem also happened without a browser, when I copied from gedit into Writer. The font was gedit's default font (gedit simply says Monospace), and was an ordinary text font. That seems to eliminate the problem of not being able to draw the font. The culprit appears to be the string itself, or in it. I downloasded OOo 3.0.1 from OOo's website and did not customize it before the test (I have since). The OOo that came with FC4 was 2.0 Beta and it did not have the problem; 2.4, which I had downloaded from OOo's website, did, as did 3.0.1. No backtrace was shown. On a restart of OOo, if recovery is offered and attempted, a crash report is offered but has never shown up. OOo crashes and disappears completely. The problem with Writer also took Calc down. Writer can be restarted and recovery mode begins. At any rate, I'll accept the P2 decision. I don't know enough to analyze issue 99081. I have to leave now, but probably tonight I'll rewrite the reproduction path for clarity. It's in this issue but due to the retesting it's now in 2 posts.

That seems to eliminate the problem of not being able to draw the font. The culprit appears to be the string itself, or in it. Not really, it doesn't always quite work that way, i.e. its just raw text when copied from gedit, the font doesn't come with it so if there was a missing glyph there could be two different fonts, and two different font-replacement technology stacks in operation, the gedit one (which doesn't crash) and the OOo one (which did). Anyway, its probably not that issue, I only mentioned it as a example. If you have a text file which reproduces this then just attach it here and we can have a look at it. If its confidential, and you trust us :-), then you can send it to either myself (c...@openoffice.org) or I'm sure m...@openoffice.org would also be willing to test it out-of-band - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I installed 3.0.1. I used gedit to open the suspect email text copy and 2 nonsuspect email text copies (one earlier and one later), each in a separate gedit document. With each, I selected all, copied, alt-tabbed to Writer 3.0.1, pasted, and scrolled to the top. With the nonsuspect texts, I could scroll down, too. But the suspect text did not allow scrolling down because the insertion point had frozen. Menubar menus refused to open. Only the service menu opened and worked, and I used it to move the WEriter document to the next workspace down, but there only the titlebar showed up. The close box produced the Force Quit dialog. That's similar to what happened with 2.4.0 in a retest like the above, with freezing taking different forms, including in one case the disappearance of scroll bars, the menubar, and all toolbars. I did not customize 3.0.1. If installing it carries customizations forward from 2,.4, then those were present. Closing gedit after pasting into Writer 3.0.1 but before trying to scroll up made no difference. The browser doesn't matter. Copying from gedit 2.10.2 also causes the crash. My guess as to the cause is that a string is used by Writer or OOo for an internal meaning, and the string's coincident appearance in pasted or typed text confuses Writer or OOo. If so, the solution is to code OOo or Writer to alter how the user-supplied string is represented internally so OOo or Writer does not see it literally and then restore it when saving, displaying, or printing, so the user never learns of the change in representation. That raises a risjk that a user will inseryt a string that coincides with the altered form; the solution to that is to create on the fly a delimiter having no other meaning within OOo or Writer and not found in the user's input and then not attempt to restore whatever is so delimited. I now withdraw my offer to send you the string, since I now wonder if it might contain confidential content. Instead, to support open source coding and research, perhaps one of us could create a 7-10MB Calc spreadsheet with formulas, convert it to Excel 97 format, attach it to an email to an appropriate recipient (the best is a real recipient whose account has an under-10MB limit on an attachment to be received and the second best is a real domain with a fake username), email it from a Yahoo account, await the delivery failure (which might take up to 5 days), hope the attachment is returned inline (not as an attachment any longer) and represented internally as a gob of gibberish, and see if the new gob crashes Writer like the old gob did. If you want me to create the spreadsheet, let me know where to send it and what the attachment size limit is. As I noted in my first post, I wasn't requesting a repair to 2.x, only for future versions if it hadn't already been fixed in the interim, and it hadn't been. As to P2/P1, I did another test in OOo 3.0.1: I opened both Calc and Writer and induced the crash. Crashing Writer also crashed Calc. So, it crashes the whole product (http://www.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddIssues_EnterModify.html#priority). That makes it P1. And, also because 2 apps crashed from 1 pasting, I changed the component from WEriter to framework. I also updated the OOo version on this report.
