Description Terry Makinson 2013-05-28 11:14:36 UTC
Problem description: When using either up or down arrow keys whilst viewing a document when get to either top or bottom of page system suddenly "hangs" for a couple of minutes before allowing me to scroll onto next or previous page.
After about 1 minute of apparent non activity (won't let me do anything imbetween)the display screen goes blank, then about 30 seconds later comes back again but still appently "looping", then goes blank at least one more time before eventually coming back and allowing you to move on to another page.
Happens on all pages of said document not just a particular page. Never happened with same document using an older version of LO and have since reverted back to version 3.6.6 and doesn't happen with that version.
What happens is similar to what happens when I "save" a document, in that it takes a while to save a large document, and whilst doing so screen goes blank a few times until save has finished. My save interval by the way is set at 60 minutes,
so it is not actually saving although it appears as though it is each time I get to top/bottom of a page.

I have just purchased a new W8 I7 16MBRAM chip laptop to replace an old model running W7 professional and which had LO 3.6 on it.
I decided rather than copy LO 3.6 from my old PC I would download the latest 4.0.3.3 version, and just copy my .odt documents across.
In editing a book I was writing I immediately got the problem referred to when I tried to edit it. Not tried any other documents yet. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. ....
2. ....
3. ....

Current behavior:

Expected behavior:

              
Operating System: Windows 8
Version: 4.0.3.3 release

First of all thanks for reporting. Does your file contain a lot of images/comments/tables/ ... etc?

Kind regards,

Hi,
Yes my document contains approximately 200 images
(it is an illustrated autobiography), but it always has, ever since I
started it some 2 years ago,
and that is why I set the number of objects to 220 in the Tools/Options Menu


Have always had a few problems with previous versions of LO Writer due to
image handling,
it quite often used to "drop" images for no apparent reason, and the number
of pages would
vary each time the document was loaded due to it dropping different images
each time.

Not done it as much with more recent versions, but it still does with 3.6.6
which I have just gone back to.
PS. To try and combat this I reduced the number of steps to 20, and
increased the graphics cache to the maximum 256MB,
and set memory size per object to 20MB.

Regards
Terry

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. But please browse to your bug and leave a comment that way, instead of replying the emails you get :-). That saves us a lot of comment-size etc (you'll see what I mean when you browse to your bug). https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65076

Okay, I see.

By 'dropping', you mean "not displaying it anymore", or just "shifting it down, so it starts on another page"? Just for the info.

Okay, so this is a regression. In that case we can do 2 things I think:
1) get access to a Linux machine where you can run a bisect on. In that case we can find where the regression is introduced, to narrow the problem down.
2) Share the document so we can test it
---because it is an illustrated autobiography I think that isn't a first option of course. But you don't need to share it publicly. In that case you can send it too me, and we/I make sure this file doesn't reach non-necessary people in the process of fixing this bug.

Kind regards,
Joren
