Doc file that blocks LibreOffice.

When I try to open the attached document, LibreOffice v3.4.1RC1 blocks. An earlier version of OpenOffice also blocked, on Windows and on Linux. MS Word has no problem with this file.

Just tested and confirms it still exists in LibreOffice 4.0.4.2 Release.

Need to confirm how the example file was created.

Hi,

I don't know how the original file was created. I run a site that receives word files from journalists (not affiliated with us) and we use LibreOffice to take screenshots of these files.

A good percentage of our files are hit by this bug, and it includes files coming from different sources. I didn't take accurate statistics of the percentage of files that are affected by this bug, so I may be overestimating the problem.

I believe our user sample is big enough to be representative of modern word files created today (probably different from a set of historical word files). The main bias that I know of from our sample is that most of our users are spanish.

In my opinion this bug should stay at highest priority.

Cheers,

Still reproducible.

The image is anchored to character in the header so that it will repeat on each page.

I was able to stop the loop by Image -> Wrap -> under Options, uncheck Contour and OK.

I also noticed the following:
Under Spacing on the Wrap tab, if you move between tabs then Top and Bottom switch places.

On Crop tab, Original Size is 2.72 cm x 27.76m.  Both Scale and Image Size are set larger.  The page height is 29.70 cm and the Size on Type tab is set to 29.92 cm.  The difference is .22cm which shows up under Spacing.

Going back into the Image dialogue and moving between the tabs and adjusting heights set the loop off again.

Repro 7.2+ for original DOC and it's DOCX. Checking dupes.
Here are both DOC and DOCX, although just one may be fixed, so only after a new bug should be opened for remaining samples.
Comment 25 Timur 2021-07-16 09:45:37 UTC
Another possible example is 3 page MSO 15 created DOCX attachment 131068 [details]  originally from bug 80392.
