|
Found another one!
Open a new writer document.
Select Insert->Picture->From File
Click and hold on the picture until the pointer changes from crossed arrows to a clenched fist.
Release the mouse button.
The picture disappears.
Cmd-Z will bring it back and moving it a large amount works correctly.
I've tested this with .png and .gif images and the same thing happens.
I attach a screen shot of the rather odd entry in the File menu for Undo after the bug has happened.

This bug also occurs in NeoOffice 3.2.1 so this bug has apparently been in NeoOffice for quite a while. It does not occur in my Go-oo 3.1.1.1 build so it is definitely our bug.
I suspect that the cause is somewhere in our drag and drop code as based on the fact that the cursor changes to the closed hand cursor and after the image is deleted, the undo menu is set to "Move".
I will investigate this bug after I work through the hanging bug that you found and this Retina display text blurriness issue.

Installed Patch 0 Test 3.
The image no longer disappears. However all is not quite well.
If I now click on an image and then wait for longer than the double click time, then click again, the Picture dialogue pops up. I don't think this is the correct behaviour, it should only open on a deliberate double click.
If I click and drag immediately only guides are shown moving and the pointer is crossed arrows.
If I click and hold then drag the pointer changes to the hand, but I get no feedback until I let go of the mouse button when the images jumps to its new position. I think click-hold-drag is supposed to show the actual image moving during the drag.
In the middle of one of my test moves NeoOffice decided to autosave my Untitled document, the progress bar got to about 90%, the SPoD appeared and after a few seconds NeoOffice crashed. Crash log attached.

Just spotted some further oddness.
After a click-hold-drag the Edit menu has an item Undo: Move: picture
After a click-drag the Edit menu has Undo:Change style: graphics1
Screen shots attached.

This is normal behavior in OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 (which NeoOffice is based on) when you click and hold and then drag a picture. Clicking and holding before dragging drags without any movement of the image until you release the mouse. You will only see the image move while you drag if you click and immediately drag.

This is also normal behavior in OpenOffice.org 3.1.1. Click, hold, and drag and click drag result in different actions so you get different names for the undo menu.
I will investigate what is causing the crash and the appearance of the Picture dialogue. I will post again when I have some news to report

Ok. Obviously I was mistaking this for how some other application works. I could've sworn click-hold-drag showed the image moving, but hey that would be far too sensible!! I now notice (in NeoOffice and OO.o 3.3) that click-hold-drag doesn't even move the image the same distance as you move the mouse! But obviously this is a feature of OpenOffice.org and not an issue for us here.

I found the cause for the Picture dialog appearing when there has been no double click and it was due to a stupid error on my part. I was using Unix time for event timestamps and those are too large to convert to milliseconds and still fit in the data type that OpenOffice.org allocates for event timestamps.
So, in the following test patch I have switched to using the time elapsed since last system boot for event timestamps.
Can you install the test patch and tell us if Picture dialog appearing without a double click works for you?:

Patch 0 Test 4 fixes the Picture dialogue double click bug for me.
Thanks,
