Description saparvia 2016-02-10 16:00:30 UTC

When a "large" gif file is embedded in an Impress presentation, the application ends up using a lot of memory.

Tested with an 11MB gif, which causes Impress to use over 2GB of memory, causing massive swapping rendering the application unresponsive.

Can you point us to such a gif so we can test?

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the document.

There have been some improvements to gif handling in https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=285744fef87f4ca0278834b97d7f618bdba5f4c0 , can you please test recent master whether this fixed your issue?
