When opening the following RTF file in LibreOffice, the opening process seems to enter an endless loop, as it consumes all available CPU time. The program's window is no longer updated, the progress bar is seen only briefly appearing to reach 100%. http://alex.state.al.us/uploads/29801/ListofSoftwarePrograms.rtf Installation: Gentoo Linux, using app-office/libreoffice-bin-3.4.3-r2
Created attachment 51452 [details] How the file should look like I should clarify it: LibreOffice does not crash. After some time (1–2 minutes), the file is shown, although the layout is messed up. Microsoft Word opens the file in a matter of seconds. How it looks like is shown in attached PDF file.
It is not really a major problem, changing to minor
Same problem with rtf files provided by French public administrations for public procurements. For example: RTF files available here: http://www.economie.gouv.fr/daj/formulaires-declaration-candidat These files are necessary to apply and are provided in RTF format only. :-( So set importance to High / Critical. Best regards. JBF
Thomas, Can you see if this is still a problem for you with a master build? I can reproduce the hang with -3-4, but not on master.
JBF, I checked http://www.economie.gouv.fr/files/directions_services/daj/marches_publics/formulaires/DC/imprimes_dc/dc1.rtf, that even crashes master. :) After tracking it down, it seems the problem is that it has a footnote inside a table, and support for that is buggy in master. I'll try to fix that soon.
Should be fixed in master with http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=ee2e2a1f5255797f4b4f4c127cf7e82fc44fb541

Hi JBF, Unfortunately not, as master has a rewritten RTF import filter. A similar fix may not be too hard for the old filter in -3-4, but I don't know that code too much, so definitely lack of free time to prepare such a fix. Miklos

I thought the new RTF filter was already in 3.4. Best regards. JBF
Same here. 1 MB rtf file, which can easily be edited in wine's wordpad freezes whole desktop. I repeated the process twice and after reboot – same result: over 3GB of own data as reported by top. Brings back horrible memories of Win 98. LibO 3.5 Writer, Fedora 16
This bug was about: 1) a CPU hog in 3.4 and 2) a crash in 3.5 not about general performance problems with 3.5. See bug 44736, that is still open and tracking this, so commenting here is not necessary. Thanks.
No crash anymore confirmed in LO 3.5.1. Closing. Thank you.
