Description Richard Manning 2020-09-11 17:28:48 UTC

Created attachment 165398 [details]
.odt file with linked fields

FILEOPEN: Attached .odt file contains internally linked fields.

It opens & functions fine in Writer 6.x

In Writer 7.0, attempting to opening the file brings up the confirmation window 

"The document NotebookTabs.odt contains one or more links to external date. Would you like to change the document, and update all links to get the most recent data?"

Choosing Yes OR choosing No hangs Writer.

I confirm, that writer becomes unresponsive, but I recieve no crash

Version: 7.0.1.2 (x64)
Build ID: 7cbcfc562f6eb6708b5ff7d7397325de9e764452
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win

Just for clarification: Does it really crash?

Comment 2 Richard Manning 2020-09-12 16:25:14 UTC

Sorry I was imprecise: it hangs. File doesn't load, application title bar says (Not Responding). I gave it 30 minutes. Nada.

Comment 3 Xisco Faulí 2021-03-31 14:48:08 UTC

i can't reproduce the hang in

Comment 4 Xisco Faulí 2021-03-31 14:51:57 UTC

I do confirm the hang in

Version: 7.0.4.2 (x86)
Build ID: dcf040e67528d9187c66b2379df5ea4407429775
CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 6.1 Service Pack 1 Build 7601; UI render: default; VCL: win

thus, WINDOWS ONLY

Comment 5 Richard Manning 2021-03-31 15:20:01 UTC

Just tried it again with 7.1.1.2 and the file opens and works FINE, as do all my other similar linked-field files. Looks like the bug got fixed somewhere between 7.0.1.2 and 7.1.1.2. Many thanks to whoever LibreWizards squashed it.

I tried to bisect when the problem was fixed but I couldn't find anything useful.
In fact, I don't reproduce it in

Version: 7.1.0.3 (x86) / LibreOffice Community

anymore. Weird...
Anyway, happy to see the issue is fixed
