Description Mikeyy - L10n HR 2014-02-12 09:06:50 UTC

File which contains macro which will pull data from all other files.

To reproduce:

1. Download ZIP from this link: https://copy.com/jfGZSp3GP6Crmzsr
2. Extract it and you will find 2 folders, TEST-ods and TEST-xls
3. Rename TEST-ods to TEST and save it to root of C: (C:/TEST)
4. Download and run TEST PULL FILE.ods (you have to enable macro).
5. Run macro (Tools - Macro - Run macro and select that file macro).

Expected:
Macro will generate filenames of all files in C:/TEST directory and formulas in columns B and C will pull data from those files.

Actual result:
LibreOffice crashes on 9th file. My guess is, memory leak.

Setup:
Win7 64bit
Intel i3 2,75ghz , 3GB ram, LO 4.1.5 (or 4.1.4)
Tested also with portable version of 4.2 and it also crashes.


Now do everything from start, but use files from TEST-xls folder. Those files are 100% identical, except they were saved as xls.
TEST PULL FILE.ods will pull data from all 15 files without problems.

I gave you only 15 test files, which are 100% indentical except filename, but I usually do this with 160+ files. With xls it passes, but with ods it crashes.
Comment 1 Mikeyy - L10n HR 2014-02-12 09:10:12 UTC 
I should mention that macro pulls file names ONLY from C:/TEST.
If you want to change this to something else so you can test on linux, you should edit macro and formulas in B and C columns to pull from different location.

Confirmed the crash on Windows 7 with 4.0.6, 4.1.6, 4.2.4, and 4.2.6. It is fine in 3.5.7, 3.6.7, 4.4.

Is this bug reproducible in Linux - if not bibisect is not possible and whiteboard status should be removed
Comment 5 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-06-09 13:37:50 UTC 
Yes it wasnt possible to reproduce it in linux in 4.1.6 or 4.2.4, so bibisect was removed.

I was testing again on win 8.1, i5 processor, 8GB of RAM with 180 files on LibreOffice 4.4.1.1
It finishes process, but when I mark columns A:C and press CTRL+C (copy) LibreOffice hangs and crashes. Tried 3 times, 3 times it crashed.

I marked B1. Scrooled down to C180 (which took some time), then SHIFT+click on C180. Then CTRL+C for copy.

All fine.

Then I pressed New spredsheet icon (first in toolbar) and bam... this error appears.
Sometimes it appears while I copy, sometimes when I try to create new spreadsheet to copy result to.

I went to look at this problem today, but the original reproducer zip seems to be gone. Is there another copy of this anywhere, or another route to reproduce ?

Luckily, I keept ZIP stored somewhere.
Won't share link here since it's my private cloud, but sent you copy via e-mail.

This regression was introduced before branch 4.4, thus it can't be bibisected with the current bibisect repositories. Changing keyword 'notBibisectable' to 'preBibisect'
