Problem description: When modifying and saving some (but not all) presentation files in native .odp format, LibreOffice 4.1.1.2 has been consistently crashing at the *end* of the file save procedure. This has been particularly affecting presentations I made within the past several months, on V. 4.* versions of LibreOffice. Moreover, the problem is particularly prominent if I am using the "Notes" tab to input lecture notes and information for during the presentation. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a saved (and previously fine) .odp presentation file. 2. Modify slides and copy-and-paste or type text into the "Notes" function for each slide. 3. "Save" or "Save As..." the presentation (occurs on both functions). The file save meter will progress until the very end, and then LibreOffice will lock up, greying out, and generating a Windows "Not Responding" message. 4. If I force close LibreOffice and re-open, initiating the Recovery procedure for the affected file only causes LibreOffice to lock up again and become unresponsive. I can only get LibreOffice to reopen by skipping the recovery. Current behavior: LibreOffice seems to work okay on new files or with other file types in Writer, for examples. Expected behavior: Ideally the .odp presentation files would save without incident. Operating System: Windows 7 Version: 4.1.1.2 release Last worked in: 4.1.0.4 release
please, upload a test file where you consistently reproduce the crash. otherwise it will be impossible to debug
Created attachment 86704 [details] Link to Problematic Presentation file (.odp) on Google Drive I am the person who originally posted this bug, and have encountered it on multiple Presentation files this week (in .odp and .ppt formats), this being one of them. At first I thought it might be corrupt files, but even after recreating them from scratch, I still encountered the error while saving. Even uninstalling and reinstalling LibreOffice (including creating a new profile) has not helped. Any help would be appreciated if others are encountering the same bug. I have attached a link to the file on Google Drive (it is too large to attach directly here).
not reproducible on my Windows 7 64bit (is yours 32bit?) using 4.1.1.2 release I edited each slide in note view mode, adding or copying and pasting random text. I was able to save it with no issue. I ask you some more tests: 1- download the portable version of LibO and see if it suffers the same saving crash on your PC (link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/winpenpack/files/X-LibreOffice/releases/X-LibreOffice_4.1.1_rev16.zip/download ) 2- if it crash on your PC, test it on another PC with an USB key. maybe there's a problem in your PC which impairs LibO. 3- try uploading here a single slide .odp file where you still reproduce the crash. as a general rule a minimal test case is much better since it will be easier to debug (remmeber "less is more") let me know your results.
Thank you for your bug report, I cannot reproduce this bug running libreoffice: Version: 4.1.1.2 Build ID: Build ID: 410m0(Build:2) OS: Ubuntu 13.04 64-bits I will test this bug on Windows shortly.
I cannot reproduce this bug running libreoffice: Versie: 4.1.2.2 Build ID: 281b75f427729060b6446ddb3777b32f957a8fb OS: Windows 7 64-bits
Thanks to both of you, Thomas and tommy27, for your help with this. Perhaps I just have a set of presentations that are corrupted (all produced around the same time initially about a year and a half ago). So, perhaps the problem is specific to my computer. However, I do find it weird that the problem occurs even with a new version of the file made with the same images imported from my local drive. I'll test it out using the portable version and on another computer and see what happens.
@Josh Rose any news?
