Description Hidden 2010-10-06 16:30:53 UTC
Maybe someone fix this idiotic bug?
Comment 1 Cédric Bosdonnat 2010-10-07 00:28:18 UTC
This is not really an easy to fix bug as this size is set by some internal data structure...

Assigning to Cedric for now.
Comment 4 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2010-12-18 10:48:45 UTC
I believe it's the same as a.m. OOo issue.

No, I don't think so. Feel free to go on that one if you like.

It is not a minor problem. Bug 55125 is about crashes. A new report (http://libreoffice.hu/2012/11/01/libreoffice-3-6-3/#comment-2237, in Hungarian) is also about crashes on Mac OS X after repeated text insertion. I have made a test file for Linux. Press Enter in the end of the line. It freezes (sometimes crashes) LibreOffice. I have attached a log file, too.

Sorry, I opened bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60732, not the previous one.

Spaces counts as well.
The only thing that is resetting the count is a change of paragraph.
Comment 18 matta2006 2013-07-06 12:26:00 UTC
To better understand the issue, have a look a my duplicate of this bug.

Comment 19 Gerry 2013-07-06 12:27:37 UTC
@Luuk: Thanks for looking into this bug. I think, the title of the same bug in the Apache OpenOffice bug system is better: "Paragraph cannot be longer than 65534 characters". It does not mean that a word is too long, but a paragraph is too long.

Apparently in law studies and law-related documents, this limit is a very critical one.
Comment 20 Manolo Mondragón 2013-07-06 17:27:05 UTC
The bug refers to the size limit of the paragraph not the word, the
paragraph may contain spaces.
A better description could be:

Paragraph size limit to 65k bytes.

Is it possible to reassign it to the default assignee to make it clearer which bugs should be fixed by someone else?
Comment 23 Caolán McNamara 2014-01-15 15:35:09 UTC
Fixed for 4.3 by http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=ba27366f3d6bc6b209ecd5c5cb79a9ee5315316a and a huge bunch of other similar stuff.

> Normal languages have some spaces between words....

Many "normal" languages are written without any separators between words at all, this is hardly unheard of.
