Description jezzper 2009-04-23 23:47:32 UTC 
Trying to import a very simple MS Word 2003 document causes Writer to eat away
memory very fast. Uses several GB within a few minutes.

The document only contains a few characters, a picture and a Form field.      

The import does not succeed and Writer just continues to use more and more RAM
until the hole OS becomes unresponsive, because of the memory use.

I have had the issue on version 3.00, 3.01 and in Lotus Symphony which is bassed
on OO on XP.

I have tried opening it on Ubuntu with OO 2.4 and it worked fine.
Comment 4 eric.savary 2009-04-24 16:49:48 UTC 
Yes, it's a huge one!
Reproduces in 310m8 on Vista.
Machine was not answering during several minutes.
Comment 5 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2009-04-30 10:33:08 UTC 
Investigation reveals that the graphic is anchored as-character inside the
<Formtext> field.
This is currently not supported by OOo Writer.

I assume that the OpenOffice.org version on the tested Ubuntu system is the one
from Novell, which already has the enhanced field support enabled.

OD->b_michaelsen: 
Please take over as you are/will be working together with Florian Reuter from
Novell to bring the latest stuff of the enhanced field support into OOo.

I tested it with my latest patched and it work fine. I've started creating a CWS
field01 where I plan to upload the latest patches...

pls. reassign or close issues.
Thx.
Comment 9 Mathias_Bauer 2011-03-28 16:09:11 UTC 
As we still didn't activate the buggy code for field support, there is no reason to work on this problem anytime soon.
Comment 10 Marcus 2017-05-20 11:13:43 UTC 
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
