Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 77014
OOo hangs due to very long "word" in MS doc

The Word document in the attachment cannot be opened in OOo 2.2, because it hangs during import. Tested on Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux 7.04.
Created attachment 44906 [details] Word doc zipped
Cannot reproduce on WinXP. Will test it on Linux a little later. BTW: do you work with a native OOo build or on a build delivered by ubuntu?
I work on a build delivered by Ubuntu. On Win XP I work on my own Hungarian build which serves as the Hungarian community build as well and was made from the official sources.
The import itself need quite long time due to the large "Table of contents"; this i already tracked as issue 53422. The document does not fully hang up Writer, but it needs a very long time to be shown. This is due to the 17 pages of only dots in text at the end. Can be Workarounded by disabling "collecting words" in Tools.AutoCorrect.Word completion". MRU->FME: the Word completion makes Writer hang for about 10 sec during scrolling through the document from time to time. The word completion seems to have a problem with the part at the end of the document which only consists of dots (more than 46000 in one paragraph).
