Description

A master document builds satisfactorily for the first 10 chapter inserts (308 pages), but then fails to insert further chapters properly. A first attempt inseerted ch.11 ok, but then failed on inserting ch.12, getting its first page repeatedly muddled with the text of ch.11. Now, when I've deleted those two chapters, re-inserting ch11.odt brings in not the ch11.odt file, but the muddled text with bits of ch12 in it. So (a) there's a problem with import when the master document has got large, and (b) deleting clearly doesn't work properly. Memory problem? - but any failure should be graceful, and the deletion should delete fully. The problem document(s) will be too large for normal upload, I'm afraid. How big would they be as zipped? Would they fit here (<50M): http://tinyupload.com/ Or perhaps here: (<200M): http://zippyshare.com/ Created attachment 119332 [details]
zip file containing problem master and the sub-documents
Not as big as I thought, and the size limit more generous than I thought ...

Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug-20161108 A fresh creation of a master from the same sources in 5.2.3.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS handled better than it did a year ago, inserting one more document than it did then, BUT the layout of subsequent sub-documents was mangled, with apparently random breaks between paragraphs and unwanted page breaks, though the text itself remained in the correct order. Please ignore that ref to bug 92013 - that was meant to be a comment against a new bug reported today.

Version: 7.5.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 50(Build:2) CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-GB Ubuntu package version: 4:7.5.3~rc2-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~lo1 Calc: threaded The re-test earlier was done using the existing master document; but if I create a new master document and load the chapters into it, delete a couple, then re-insert them, then I find no problems with confusion of text. This probably means that the problem as originally reported might no longer be recorded as a live issue? BUT it remains true that the original master document still seems to be retaining text internally after deletion, and restoring using those internal values rather than loading from the source files as should be expected. On that basis the bug still exists ... |
