crash p1 bug, data loss - openoffice
I have uncovered a bug in openoffice on windows 7, 64 pro
Openoffice 4.0.0
To reproduce this bug, make a table with 3 rows and 3 columns (maybe other numbers would work as well)
now merge the top row's cells
now select a column beneath that merged row, and delete it.
that should crash openoffice and lose all your data.
workaround? nothing fast.
sorry, it's easier to mail your dev than painstakingly drudge your website for the bug database and try to get past whatever prescreening it undoubtedly has. but great free software guys...but please fix that! it's a priorty 1...crash & data loss.

Thx.
Thus I will continue the further communication on the mailing list -
this mail is already sent to the mailing list.

I understand.
Do you still have such a document at hand?

I could not reproduce a crash in my AOO 4.0.0, AOO 4.0.1 and my local
build of trunk.
These are the steps I used:
- new text document resp. new presentation
- Menu Insert - Table
- confirm insertation dialog with 3 rows and 3 columns
- Select cells of first row via Mouse or Cursor Keys
- Merge selected cells via Mouse Click on corresponding toolbar icon
"Merge Cells" or via Menu or via Context Menu entry
- Select all cells via Mouse or Cursor Keys of a certain column except
the first row.
- Delete column via Mouse Click on corresponding toolbar icon "Delete
Column" or via Menu or via Context Menu entry
--> no crash.
What are your concrete steps to produce the crash?

Once it can be reliable be reproduced I agree that this crash should be
fixed asap.

In this case, it's OK for me.
I never observed this case because I fix always the number of columns of a
table at the beginning, and formate the table and merge cells only at the
end, only when I'm sure that all is OK in the table. Doing so, I never
encountered any problem with the table functionality.
Thank your for your response.

I can also confirm the observed behavior in Writer.
I reproduced this behavior already in OOo 2.2.0 (released in March 2007).
This 'delete column' behavior more or less reflects what would be
deleted, if the user would select _all_ cells from a certain column.
In the given sample - 3x3 table, all cells of the first row merged -
this is the complete table.
Please do not get me wrong here.
I just want to state how the current 'delete column' behavior in Writer
can be explained and that it is not a regression.
Best regards, Oliver.

Although I haven't reproduce the problem on my AOO4.1 against three
applications, I find another problem with the same scenario for writer. Do
same with Sam's reproduce steps against writer, in the last step, delete a
column beneath that merged row, the whole table was deleted.

Hi,Sam
I try to reproduce your issue on AOO4.1 and AOO4.0 (AOO400m3(Build:9702)
- Rev. 1503704)presentation and writer on Windows7 ，but fail to reproduce
Can you provide which product : presentation or writer , AOO4.0.0 version
build information ,which will be helpful for us to reproduce your issue
Thanks
