          Issue ID: 125394
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: WONT SAVE AND CLOSE IN CALC
           Product: Calc
           Version: 4.1.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: save-export
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: southside160e@hotmail.com

JUST UPGRADED FROM 4.0.1 TO 4.1.0

I CAN OPEN A CALC DOCUMENT AND IT DISPLAYS AND CLOSES PROPERLY--BUT MAKE ONE
ENTRY--EVEN A SINGLE DIGIT IN AN EMPTY CELL AND IT WILL NOT CLOSE NOR CAN YOU
EXIT--DO A 3 FINGER SALUTE AND QUIT THE SOFFICE BIN PROCESS AND ITS GONE FROM
THE DESKTOP.

OF COURSE WHEN YOU DO THAT AND REOPEN EVEN THE GENERAL OPEN OFFICE SHORTCUT OR
ANY OTHER OPEN OFFICE DOCUMENT YOU GO THROUGH THE RECOVERY PROCESS FOR THAT
SPREADSHEET THAT WONT CLOSE--WHEN AND IF IT DOES RECOVER --AND PROVIDED YOU
MAKE NO ENTRIES-- IT WILL CLOSE NORMALLY. 

WHEN I SAY WONT CLOSE--I MEAN-- FOR MINUTES ---OR HOURS.

CAN THE 4.1 BE REMOVED AND THE 4.0.1 REINSTALLED ?? OR AM I MISSING A SIMPLE
FIX?

Q--Does this happen with a particular document, or with any Calc document?
A--All calc documents

Thanks for the response.

I did send the document on this machine to another running the 4.0.1 version
and it opens and closes ok there---and you can make entries and modify it and
close it there normally too. ergo--it must be the new version installed on the
machine I was working with when the problem began.

As to what was happening precisely when the freezes began--I am pretty sure it
was while formatting the background in a single cell from light red to light
green or vice versa right after making a dollar entry in another cell--that
particular entry had updated the other cell values so at least that part of the
posting went well.

As to the microsoft error reporting seen--content follows--
C:\DOCUME~1\Coleman\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERdf9a.dir00\soffice.bin.mdmp
C:\DOCUME~1\Coleman\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERdf9a.dir00\appcompat.txt
szAppName : soffice.bin     szAppVer : 4.0.9764.500     szModName : hungapp
szModVer : 0.0.0.0     offset : 00000000     

Note  the  app version "4.0.9764.500" mentioned above ---it would appear
something might be left over from the previous open office install--- or-- does
this number apply to what would be found in the 4.1.0 version of open office
now?

I WENT BACK TO EARLIER VERSION OF 4--SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT BUT NO CIGAR--REMOVED
THAT AND WENT BACK TO VERSION 3.4 AND AM BACK IN BUSINESS.

I DID NOTICE A COUPLE TIMES --WHILE PLAYING WITH EARLIER VERSION 4--NOTICES
--"OPENING IN READ ONLY MODE" OR "USE OPEN FOR EDITING"--IS THE GLITCH
SOMETHING TO DO WITH WINDOW XP OPERATING SYSTEMS "PERMISSIONS" OR A FILE BEING
"LOCKED" BY THE OPEN OFFICE CALC PROGRAM? 

UNDER OPEN OFFICE MIGHT "LOCKING" OCCUR IF A OOP DOCUMENT DID NOT CLOSE
PROPERLY OR IF DOUBLE CLICKING TO OPEN WAS INTERPRETED AS AN INSTRUCTION TO
OPEN 2 INSTANCES OF THE SAME DOCUMENT. EITHER MIGHT BE A FACTOR. IN EITHER CASE
SUCH AN IMPROPERLY CLOSED OR DUPLICATE FILE IS NOT VISIBLE. OCCASIONALLY I WAS
GETTING A "RECOVERY" NOTICE ON OPENING ANY OPEN OFFICE DOCUMENT--IT WOULD GIVE
A FILENAME AND WHEN YOU CLICKED "NEXT" IT WOULD SAY IT COULD NOT LOCATE OR
RECOVER IT AND PROCEED TO OPEN WHAT YOU WANTED TO OPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE.


WINDOWS IS PRETTY GOOD AT THROWING UP ROADBLOCKS TO ALTERNATIVES TO THEIR
PRODUCTS----FOR EXAMPLE--WHEN VISITING THE OPEN OFFICE SITE EXPLORER "SECURITY"
AUTOMATICALLY NOTIFIES ME--THIS SITE HAS "CERTIFICATE ERRORS" AND I WILL BE
PROCEEDING ONLY AT GREAT PERIL IF I DO SO. NOVICES MIGHT TURN OUT THE LIGHTS,
STAY IN THE BOTTOM OF THEIR FOXHOLE, AND WAIT FOR AT LEAST A FEW SECONDS AFTER
THEY HIT THE "NEXT" BUTTON---AND THEN STICK THEIR HEAD UP.

Does this happen with a particular document, or with any Calc document?
If the first, can you attach that particular document in this report?


> CAN THE 4.1 BE REMOVED AND THE 4.0.1 REINSTALLED ?

Yes. Just download 4.0.1 again, and remove 4.1
