My program crashes while opening word files. Both were more then 2 MB so that can be the problem. As an attachment a error log as Libreoffice produces. I hope it helps. Or otherwise please tell me what I'm doing wrong. DDH
Created attachment 49995 [details] Error log of a ctash
Failed to reproduce on LibreOffice 3.4 340m1(Build:103) for OpenSuse Linux. I could open a 6.7 MB file with Writer with no problems. A 2 MB cap would seem like a pretty restricting limit for word files.
[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html
is this reproducible with 3.5.0?
This is similar to Bug 48692 - "Importing large .doc file causes loop". It's hard to say if this is the same bug because we don't have the .doc files and therefore can't see if there are any similarities. As comment #2 below says and as I have stated in a comment to bug 48692, the size of the .doc file can NOT be the (only) root of the problem (I can open a 12 MB .doc file with Writer without any problems). Changed 'Component' to 'Writer', because you will probably use Writer to open a Word file ;-)
Dear bug submitter! Due to the fact, that there are a lot of NEEDINFO bugs with no answer within the last six months, we close all of these bugs. To keep this message short, more infos are available @ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/NeedinfoClosure#Statement Thanks for understanding and hopefully updating your bug, so that everything is prepared for developers to fix your problem. Yours! Florian
