LO Writer opens and shows file (~770 pages), than it starts to increment page number counter and everything slows down. I've killed it after ~2000 "pages".
Hi Valek, can you please attach a sample document producing this issue? Otherwise it's impossible to confirm this bug. After attaching a sample document, please re-set this bug to UNCONFIRMED. Thanks :)
Oh... I'd missed that attachment was too large first time. The file is here: http://libelli.ru/z/14/bd29.zip
It doesn't look like an infinite loop - it looks like pages are just really messed up. Going to see if it ever worked right with bibisect - likely been around since forking from OOo
For me there is really a bug. I encounter the same bahavior with LO 4.0.5 (generic Linux version), 4.1.3.0.0+ (build at home) and the master under Ubuntu 13.04 x86-64. If I launch the command Tools > Update > Page formatting, the progress bar moves forward and backward, suggesting an infinite loop restarting the page formatting computation. Best regards. JBF
Created attachment 107482 [details] PDF export of page 172 using 4.4.0.0 alpha from Oct 6 Exported page 172 as PDF to show an example of messy rendering. On 4.3.2.2 and 4.4.0.0 dev build, I don't get infinite loop with Tools > Update > Page formatting.

Lowered version number after reproducing hang on opening in: Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit LibreOffice 3.5.0rc3 Build ID: 7e68ba2-a744ebf-1f241b7-c506db1-7d53735 Yet this should probably be closed and a new one opened for the messy rendering.
Created attachment 115714 [details] PDF export of page 100 from Word in LO Word shows 780 pages. As noted, current LO versions open more, LO 4.4.3 ~1580 pages, LO 5.0 ~1650 pages, but that doesn't seem to increment endlessly. (In reply to Beluga from comment #5) > Created attachment 107482 [details] > PDF export of page 172 using 4.4.0.0 alpha from Oct 6 That's page 100 from Word, current page 170 in LO 5.0.
(In reply to Beluga from comment #6) > Yet this should probably be closed and a new one opened for the messy > rendering. I'll close this one as WFM. If you feel that's inappropriate, feel free to reopen, but please read the following before. Problems with rendering are obvious, but: - it's highly unlikely that any bugs of type "multiple problems/bad rendering", will be fixed - each issue (section break, paragraph break, text box, picture...) should be reported separately, after a search for already reported bugs - if bugs don't exist, they should be reported separately, even if they happen with the same file - the document is created with manual interventions which is not the proper way for a complex text document.
Of course, it's not Linux only, but also Windows problem, thus All.
