I tried to edit an existing document that I created with ooimpress of OO 3.1.0 in OO 3.1.1. Any keypress or other operation to the document caused a short (1-5s) hang of the application during which the CPU peaked at 100%. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load document 2. Click on a text field 3. Try typing Actual Results: Hang after (almost?) each character typed. Expected Results: No hang. I watched with top what processes use the CPU time during the hangs. I saw convert and gs. Using pstree I saw that indeed these processes were spawned from OpenOffice. I downgraded OO to 3.1.0 and the problem went away. =========================================================================== $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0, gcc-4.4.1, glibc-2.10.1-r0, 2.6.29-tuxonice-r1 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.29-tuxonice-r1-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_P8600_@_2.40GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.11.1 Timestamp of tree: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 08:30:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 4.0_p28 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.8-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.6.2-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r8 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/home/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distlocks fixpackages noinfo parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.wh2.tu-dresden.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo http://de-mirror.org/distro/gentoo ftp://ftp.rz.tu-bs.de/pub/mirror/ftp.gentoo.org/gentoo-distfiles http://ftp.spline.inf.fu-berlin.de/mirrors/gentoo ftp://ftp.spline.inf.fu-berlin.de/mirrors/gentoo http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en de pl es" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/home/portage/binpkg" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac aalib acl acpi alsa amd64 bash-completion berkdb bzip2 cairo cddb cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dell dga dri dvd dvdread dvipdfm encode esd exif fat fbcondecor fbsplash ffmpeg firefox flac fontconfig fortran gd gdbm gif gimpprint gnome gnome-keyring gnuplot gpm gtk hal hddtemp iconv ipv6 isdnlog jfs jpeg jpeg2k laptop latex3 lcms libnotify loop-aes mad mmx mozbranding mp3 mpeg mplayer mudflap multilib ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ntfs nvidia ogg opengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl png pni pppd python readline reflection sasl sdl session smp spl sqlite sqlite3 sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 ssl ssse3 svg sysfs tcl tcpd theora threads tiff tk truetype unicode v4l v4l2 vim-pager vim-syntax vim-with-x vorbis webkit wifi x264 xcb xine xorg xulrunner xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en de pl es" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nv nvidia vesa" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Could you attach an example document that demonstrates this problem? Did you happen to save a binary package of the 3.1.1 openoffice you built (i.e. from FEATURES=buildpkg or from explicit 'quickpkg') so you can easily switch between the two versions while trying to reproduce this problem?
Sorry, that it took so long to respond. I wanted to write that I could provide an example document privately to people who can investigate the problem. But while trying to trim down one of the documents that gave me this problem before, I found that it no longer happens. So for now I resolve this bug as as WFM. (Btw, for completeness, and I am embarrassed to see that this info was apparently not in my original bugreport: the problem was with the binary OOo package, openoffice-bin-3.1.1.)
