How to use the Python code to trigger this?
Indeed, I can't add a macro in Python (the "Create" button is disabled, bug?).

Created attachment 124360 [details]

Here is a sample python script that sorts the previously attached XLS file.

Hi Julian,

I have attached a sample Python sort script.

Quinton: thank you for your feedback. However, it seems a script for Windows env so I can't help here. Certainly someone with all your info may give a try and help.

Tested with LO 5.0.5 and 5.1.2 and I doesn't see a difference>

file "XA003-800000A_BOM.xls" I copied  into C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 5\program and to the same directory as python_sort_sample.py is.

Hi Raal,

Thank you for having a look.

A SMB type path("\\VBOXSVR\tmp") will most likely not open.
If you copy the file to the windows OS drive like "c:\tmp" it should work better.

We first noticed the freeze occur on a Windows 7 64bit PC. 

The script I run is a bit different, but the one I gave you should be able to trigger the problem.

Here is sample output from my script run on three different Libre installs;

Using SOfficeBin(5.0.5.2): C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 5\program\soffice.exe

The freeze happens at the end of this func.

def SortSheetBy(context,SRCXLSDoc,mysheet,Sortbycolnum):
	frame = SRCXLSDoc.CurrentController.getFrame()
	#print(frame)
	dispHelper = context.ServiceManager.createInstance("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")

	PropVal.Name = 'IncludeAttribs'
	PropVal.Value = True
	sortproptuple+=(PropVal,)
	
	PropVal = uno.createUnoStruct('com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue')
	PropVal.Name = 'UserDefIndex'
	PropVal.Value = 0
	sortproptuple+=(PropVal,)
	
	PropVal = uno.createUnoStruct('com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue')
	PropVal.Name = 'Col1'
	PropVal.Value = Sortbycolnum
	sortproptuple+=(PropVal,)
	
	PropVal = uno.createUnoStruct('com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue')
	PropVal.Name = 'Ascending1'
	PropVal.Value = True
	sortproptuple+=(PropVal,)
	print("freeze expected")
	#This datasort freezes libre >=5.1
	dispHelper.executeDispatch(frame, ".uno:DataSort","", 0, (sortproptuple))
	print("freeze avoided")

I let it run for several minutes and then decided it is frozen.
Only output was:
Attempting to open an UNO socket, count: 0
Processing Source Files.

The py sample script I attached that was used to run your test can be changed at line 119 from
"""
dispHelper.executeDispatch(frame, ".uno:DataSort","", 0, (sortproptuple))
"""
to the following to illustrate where the script freezes.
"""
print("freeze expected")
#This datasort freezes libre >=5.1
dispHelper.executeDispatch(frame, ".uno:DataSort","", 0, (sortproptuple))
print("freeze avoided")
"""
This worked in Libre versions >=5.0.

Dear Quinton,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
