PostPosted: Sat Jul 31, 2010 7:04 am    Post subject: Crash when deleting cells in Calc

After having inadvertently filled the cells of an entire column of the spreadsheet, I attempted to delete the majority of the rows of the spreadsheet, in order to make space to add rows earlier in the spreadsheet. When I did, Neo Crashed. Not immediately, but before the operation was finished.

My guess is that I overloaded it, asking to to delete so many rows. I have another way to deal with my immediate issue, but I wanted to report the crash. Crash log attached

Edit: Forgot to say OSX 10.6.4 (Intel, obviously), Neo 3.1.1, patch 1

Is there any way to reproduce this crash? If so, can you list the steps? Also, if you can reproduce the crash, can you install the following test patch and tell us if the crashing stops? I have fixed a couple of crashing bugs since Patch 1 was released so I am hoping that your crash might be already fixed:

Intel:

PowerPC:

I was able to reproduce the crash both before and after installing the test patch. Here's a list of steps to replicate. Sorry I didn't have them together earlier:

-Open the attached ods document
-Select all of row 56 by clicking on the row number to the left
-Scroll down to the end of the document
-Shift-click on the row number of the last row (row 1048756); this should select all the rows from row 56 to the end of the document
-Click on the Delete Rows button on the toolbar

After a few seconds, Neo crashes.

new crash log also attached

Thank you for the steps and the sample document. I can reproduce this crashing bug in both NeoOffice 3.1.1 and my Go-oo build. Since OpenOfffice.org 3.1.1 complains that there are too many rows when opening the spreadsheet, this appears to be a bug in Novell's Go-oo code.

I will investigate this bug further and see if I can fix it. Once I have a fix, I will post a test patch for you to try.

FYI. I have created bug 3622 to track this bug.

What is interesting is that this bug only occurs when you delete row 1048576 which is the highest row number allowed in a Calc spreadsheet.

I think that I have fixed this Go-oo crashing bug. Can you install the following test patch and tell us if the bug is fixed for you?:

Intel:
