Description Telesto 2020-10-08 19:52:04 UTC
Description:
Freeze while scrolling because LibreOffice is constantly attempting to connect to the internet (OLE object)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached file
2. Scroll up & down -> Will hang for a while
3. Scroll again.. next hang

Actual Results:
Hangs for say 10 seconds

Expected Results:
If you cut off your internet connection (set firewall to block) there will be a nice dialog, can't connect to maps.google.nl (and the whole document functions speedy).
If internet is available it constantly tries to get to maps.google.nl. 
(a) This should be done in a different thread (not main) hanging the doc
(b) Bail out on failure at some point. Makes no sense to try over and over after failure with the same doc still open. First time on file open I get (time out bit long from my perspective, but if it's in a different thread... fine)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
7.1

4.0

FWIW, document based on copy/pasting some webpage

I confirm it with

CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win

When I try to open navigator in sidebar, LO crashes:
https://crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/crash_details/8d19cf8f-b4eb-45cc-9f67-73000559b71d

To make sure, that it isn't a copy/paste problem, could you please add informations about the origin of the object?
=> NEEDINFO

The ole object is connected to "https://maps.google.nl/" so surely a copy/paste issue. However this shouldn't case a freeze/ hang. There is a point where the inquiry simply (probably inaccessible address) should finally fail. Instead of keep trying..

And crash shouldn't happen; how evil the document might be :P (worth a separate report, IMHO)

Tested with

Version: 7.5.3.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: d29ee673721b12c92b3de9b9663473211414f0db
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL threaded

I recieve an general input error and OLE-object disappears. No problem for scrolling then. So for the moment I would say, there is no possibility to restes the bug and I would close it as RESOLVED INSUFFICIENT data.

Telesto, feel free to change status, if you disagree.
