Description jeffkingrotary 2022-11-22 19:24:59 UTC
Description:
Calc spreadsheet crashes

1. If cursor is scrolled quickly with a mouse, or if mouse is off the page.  
2. When cropping an image, if the spreadsheet is not saved after each direction is cropped then a crash occurs. For example, cropping one corner down, then another corner sideways.
Using HP Z4 work station, 64 byte

Steps to Reproduce:
1.scroll down in a spreadsheet using the mouse on the scroll bar - move quickly
2.scroll down in a spreadsheet and allow the mouse cursor to move off the scroll bar.
3. crop an image in one direction then crop another corner, possibly move crop quickly

Actual Results:
Calc locks up, then after about 15 - 30 seconds crashes.

This never happened with previous versions of Calc, started as soon as I began using 7.4.2.3

Expected Results:
should not crash when moving mouse quickly


Reproducible: Always

Is it crashing or just the Graphics rendering resetting.

Do you still have issues if you start with non-Vulcan Skia software only raster frame. I.e. check the 'Force Skia software rendering' checkbox and restart.

What GPU and driver?

Would also be helpful if you remembered which version you upgraded from. There are a few reports about Calc crashing when scrolling, we're trying to see if they are the same issue.

From email conversation with Jeff:

I suggested testing the three configurations:

1) Skia on, "force skia software rendering" on (which means your About dialog should say "Skia/Raster")
2) Skia on, "force Skia software rendering" off (which means your About dialog should says "Skia/Vulkan" if you have a graphics card)
3) Skia off

Jeff replied:

> I tried the three settings, pasting and importing images, then scrolling and moving the mouse quickly, off screen as well. The spreadsheet is not crashing.  > I think upgrading to Windows 11 is the reason it doesn't crash now.

Because the upgrade to Windows 11 improved things, and because the crashes were happening with cropping too, I'll just mark this one as a "resolved - works for me" and keep the scroll crash as a "see also".
