Created attachment 112929 [details] This is a pretty large WriteNow 4.x file with outdented margins LibreOffice has problems importing WriteNow documents with outdented first lines ("hanging indents") which is a format I used for a lot of game rules back in the day. It causes the text to wrap very narrowly and the problem seems to be that it hugely blows out the pagecount. I've observed this problem with a lot of my files, but the smaller ones simply create a horribly formatted document wheich can be fixed fairly easily. Steps to replicate: Import the file LibreOffice hangs and/or crashes
On Windows 7 sp1, 64-bit en-US with Version: 4.4.0.3 Build ID: de093506bcdc5fafd9023ee680b8c60e3e0645d7 Locale: en_US Version: 4.5.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: ea1d8c5ab3183f67c27683133d286725b4fa98bc TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2015-01-23_08:12:10 Locale: en_US No stability issues with the import and saving to .ODT Filter result seems pretty useable, a few Paragraph formatting issues--notably with the right margins. But in general this seems a fairly complete import filter result. Perhaps attach a PDF rendering with annotations showing perceived incorrect handling by the import filter?
Created attachment 115383 [details] original screenshot Maybe, this bug corresponds to two different problems: - a problem with libmwaw, as we can not expect that LibreOffice draws the characters exactly as WriteNow did (the fonts are different, ...), I try to decrease a little the page's right and bottom margins (to avoid to create potential singleton word) ; of course, this improves the result on some files but not other files :-~ Unfortunately, I am not sure that a miraculous solution exists. - the LibreOffice hangs/crashes may indicate a more general problem, i.e. on OSX10.10.3 (14D136) and LibreOffice 4.4.2002, when playing with margins, I obtained two times: Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000018 VM Regions Near 0x18: --> __TEXT 000000010552b000-000000010552c000 [ 4K] r-x/rwx SM=COW /Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 libswlo.dylib 0x0000000120b723e9 SwView::ExecTabWin(SfxRequest&) + 8585 1 libsfxlo.dylib 0x0000000105fbdb5f SfxDispatcher::Call_Impl(SfxShell&, SfxSlot const&, SfxRequest&, bool) + 895 2 libsfxlo.dylib 0x0000000105fbffbc SfxDispatcher::Execute(unsigned short, SfxCallMode, SfxPoolItem const*, ...) + 444 3 libsvxlo.dylib 0x0000000122d4bda4 SvxRuler::ApplyMargins() + 1220 4 libsvxlo.dylib 0x0000000122d50df9 SvxRuler::EndDrag() + 265 5 libsvtlo.dylib 0x000000010674b3c6 Ruler::Tracking(TrackingEvent const&) + 134 6 libvcllo.dylib 0x0000000107338e83 vcl::Window::EndTracking(unsigned short) + 259 7 libvcllo.dylib 0x000000010734c6b1 ImplHandleMouseEvent(vcl::Window*, unsigned short, bool, long, long, unsigned long, unsigned short, MouseEventModifiers) + 4385 8 libvcllo.dylib 0x000000010734e4f8 ImplWindowFrameProc(vcl::Window*, SalFrame*, unsigned short, void const*) + 2920 9 libvcllo.dylib 0x000000010760c800 -[SalFrameView sendMouseEventToFrame:button:eventtype:] + 1344 10 com.apple.AppKit 0x00007fff95bd1e57 -[NSWindow _reallySendEvent:isDelayedEvent:] + 648 11 com.apple.AppKit 0x00007fff95564d76 -[NSWindow sendEvent:] + 470 12 com.apple.AppKit 0x00007fff95561312 -[NSApplication sendEvent:] + 2504 13 libvcllo.dylib 0x00000001076021b3 -[VCL_NSApplication sendEvent:] + 355 .... while LibreOffice 4.3 seems more stable...
