Bug ID: 91648
Summary: LibreOffice Keeps Seizing Uo, Forcing Manual Restart &
Document Recovery
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.2.8.2 release
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: oldef...@cox.net
Writing a report of some ideas, trials, and results using LibreOffice as my
journal writer. This went on for hours last night as I added, modified,
deleted text in the journal file I am creating. I also did repeated
copy-and-paste operations with text from other sources rather than repeat it
all by key entry.
During those hours last night, I repeatedly, maybe once an hour, would suddenly
find that LibreOffice had suddenly stopped echoing keystrokes. The mouse
pointer could be moved, but nothing in LibreOffice was responding. Even on the
menu bar, the mouse behaved strangely, showing a vertical bar for the cursor
instead of a pointer (in my case, an arrow).
I could not move or resize the opened windows. I could not close anything or
save the work at hand. I could not start or stop any applications.
LibreOffice had seized up on me, disrupting normal mouse and keyboard
activities. My PC was now almost completely stalled. I could not log out.
What I found I could do is use the mouse and still do a Restart or Shutdown. I
repeatedly did restarts during the night, then reopened the journal file and
had LibreOffice perform a repair/recovery process, which it was successful at.
I would keep loosing changes and additions to the journal file when this
happened, always the most recent work I was involved in.
Getting back most the file contents was great, but it would disrupt anything
that I might have had uoened and doing at the time the seizure took place, and
meant a lot of other work had to be restored as well as repeating the lost
steps in the journal, si I count this as a major problem that needs to be
resolved.
==============================================================================
An incidental issue is that when copying plain text from another file, the
horizontal spacing between vertical columns is screwed up, so the columns
appear skewed back and forth instead of being vertically stacked when the paste
is done.
And the consecutive individual lines (each terminated with the Enter key) in
the selected block from a plain text file may then be pasted into the journal,
but seen as though double spaced. This cannot be adjusted out. Repeated
attempts only show it was stuck in this mode of pasting at this particular
place in the file being handled by LibreOffice.
