Description Jean-Marie Mouchel 2011-09-05 19:34:38 UTC
After chosing an ods file address data base, LibreOffice gets locked when trying to apply a filter.
The odb file which has been made from the ods file is looks empty (size is 0, but this pay be normal if it is buffered somewhere).

LibreOffice 3.3.3 
OOO330m19 (Build:301)
tag libreoffice-3.3.3.1, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2

Hi Jean-Marie,
I see your bug while looking for something else.
Sorry that you got no response before.

But I do not understand exactly what you describe.
Where/how do you apply a filter?

And also: have you been able to do this in a more recent version?

Thanks - Cor

This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

Using LO 3.5.3rc0 on Fedora 16 (x86_64) I can't reproduce this problem

Steps

1) Make up a Writer mailmerge document
2) Identify an LO spreadsheet as the data source
3) Put in some (fairly random) fields
4) Specify a filter

My filter is active because the source data display changes to show only the data matching the filter.

Writer has not locked up, I can move the cursor around, change the filter...

Already fixed?
