Description Daniel Grigoras 2014-09-14 14:09:16 UTC
Hi 

I work with a master document and I found out that I have to run LibreOffice on Ubuntu x64, as on Windows 7 x64 LibreOffice returned "Bad allocation" and crashed each time I inserted many or all of the subdocuments, which amount to 2000 pages. On Ubuntu it runs great, but on Windows 7 x64 poorly. I have to add that I also have OpenOffice installed, but I understand that there shouldn't be any conflicts by having both installed.

Also, at the subdocument level, and this again on Windows 7 x64, LibreOffice would just not show some of the larger pictures contained by a 40 MB subdocument.

Not sure if the bug is in LibreOffice ;-)

What amount of RAM do you have under W7 ?
Did you play with graphic cache parameter : menu Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Memory ?

Set status to NEEDINFO. Please set it back to UNCONFIRMED once you have provided requested informations. Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards. JBF

Another thing to have in mind, LO is build on 32 bits only on Windows so even if you're on Win7 64 bits, you might have some limitations.

What's the physical size of your whole doc (master and subdocuments)?

Now there are still memory leaks fixed on LibreOffice. For the test, you may give a try to daily master sources, see http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Win-x86@51-TDF/current/

My system is equipped with a Core i7-4770, 256GB SSD, 8GB of RAM and runs Windows 7 x64.
The total size of the subdocuments is 114 MB, and growing.

I have set the memory setting for LibreOffice to the maximum allowed and I still receive "Bad allocation" in just a few seconds after inserting the subdocuments into the master document.

As mentioned before, this is not an issue on Ubuntu. I can only work on Ubuntu because of this.

Following your last comment I put it back to UNCONFIRMED.

Why would you do that? This is a real issue.

I remember creating a sample master doc a while ago, which you can download from here:

Perhaps but you can't confirm your onw bug reports. Each bug report must be confirmed independently.

Also not a blocker - blockers are reserved for truly cases where the vast majority of users would be affected, as we as of now have a single unconfirmed case....not meeting this criteria. Setting to Major - High. 

What are the exact steps to reproduce? Just download the document and watch a memory leak?

Opens fine here on a system about half as powerful as the reporter's.

Win 7 64-bit Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha2+

Darius:

1) Can you still reproduce the problem with 4.4.x and/or 4.5.x builds?

2) As Joel asked, could you be a bit clearer about what steps are required to reproduce the problem?

Status -> NEEDINFO

(Please change status back to UNCONFIRMED after you test with 4.4.x and/or 4.5.x, and provided simple steps for reproduction. Thanks!)

Darius: for the test, could you rename your LO directory profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Windows) and give it a new try?

Ok, I just did that and LibreOffice crashed while pulling together the subdocuments into the master document. This always happens on Windows, but fortunately never on Ubuntu.
I would prefer having this working on Windows also.

Thank you Darius for your feedback.
I'll put this one back to UNCONFIRMED.
Comment 15 Daniel Grigoras 2015-11-09 12:28:41 UTC
This issue seems to have been fixed in LibreOffice 5.0.3.2. I've tried before v5.0.2 and LibreOffice crashed after inserting 20 subdocuments in the master document, which was an improvement, as before LibreOffice 5.0.2, LibreOffice crashed immediately upon insertion of subdocuments in the master document. I could only work with subdocuments in the master document on Linux.

Now, with LibreOffice 5.0.3.2 I am able to work on Windows 7 with a masterdocument containing 46 subdocuments totaling 2200 pages.

Thanks, let's set to WFM.
