Created attachment 77108 [details] DOC file which freeze LibO Problem description: Steps to reproduce: 1. open attached file "LongTable.doc" Current behavior: LibO freeze Expected behavior: File should be opened with a long table embedded in a cell. The table is longer than 1 page. If the content of the table is reduced so that table is fitting in less than one page, then LibO is able to open it. See "ShortTable.doc" which is the same file modified with Word 2003 to remove some lines. However, I was not able to reproduce with a new document from Word 2003. I reproduce with LibO 4.0.1.2, 3.6.6.1, 3.3.4, AOO 3.4.0, OOo 3.2.0 portable. I do NOT reproduce with OOo 2.4.1 portable Operating System: Windows 7 Version: 3.3.4 release
Created attachment 77109 [details] DOC file with shorten table which is correctly opened This file is the same as the previous one, but with a shorten table.
Reproduced with lo 4.0.3.0+ (Build ID: 64a3b58a9ace11c6a01708e8de14712e27e0204), LO 3.6.4.3 Portable and LO 4.0.2.1. Windows 7 Home Premium. Jacques Guilleron
In the same way: 1. Open second attachment "DOC file with shorten table which is correctly opened" 2. Move to second page 3. Click inside embedded table 4. Add a line with "Enter" key => LibO freeze Note: attachment files were saved with MS-Word 2003.
The problem is when there is a "do not split paragraph" in one cell, and next cell contains a table larger than 1 page. Simpler procedure from scratch: - In MS Word 2003, create a new document - insert a table, 2 columns, 1 row - in first cell, set "Title 1" as style - in second cell, insert a table (one cell) - save as DOC file (see third attachment "SimpleTable.doc") - open "SimpleTable.doc" - in embedded table insert many paragraphs with Enter key => when table exceeds one page LibO freezes
Created attachment 77276 [details] DOC file with an empty table
I cannot reproduce directly from LibO, because LibO adds empty paragraph with table in the second cell. Word insert the embedded table without empty paragraph.
I reproduce the freeze with LibreOffice 3.5.4 from Debian Wheezy, but I open the file without problems with LibreOffice 4.2.5 and 4.3.0. I set bugstatus to "resolved worksforme", because I do not know which patch solves the problem. Feel free to reopen it if you can reproduce the issue with LibreOffice 4.3.0 or later.
