Description Horst H. von Brand 2008-12-26 17:38:19 UTC
Description of problem:
I need to consolidate several sheets into a spreadsheet, so I opened a new one. On trying to insert sheet from file, after giving the first few characters of the name of the file, oocalc hangs hard (had to go to alt-F2 and "killall soffice")

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openoffice.org-calc-3.0.1-14.2.fc11.x86_64

How reproducible:
Hang all 3 or 4 times I tried, only sometimes it was possible to kill it via 'x' (and "Force Quit")

Steps to Reproduce:
1. oocalc
2. Insert --> Sheet from file...
3. Delete irrelevant text, enter "/t" [hangs here]
  
Actual results:
Complete hang

Expected results:
Complete filename (with directory), and insert it into the spreadsheet

Additional info:

Now I tried to open another file from its menu, it also hangs the same way...

Also, oocalc is completely unresponsive to its window decoration ('-' doesn't minimize, '+' doesn't maximize, 'x' has no visible effect, can't move the window by grabbing its border)

Comment 2 Horst H. von Brand 2008-12-26 18:17:07 UTC
Same problem as original report with openoffice.org-calc-3.0.1-14.1.fc11.x86_64

Comment 3 Caolan McNamara 2008-12-29 23:24:01 UTC
I have to assume that we're talking about the file open dialog right ?, i.e. the gnome file dialog that appears on insert->sheet from file ?

Comment 4 Horst H. von Brand 2008-12-30 00:53:28 UTC
It is definitely not the same. My above steps still result in a hang, the steps given for 478358 don't.

Comment 5 Horst H. von Brand 2008-12-30 00:55:02 UTC
BTW, if the file is in ~/Documents, I can select and insert sheets just fine. The problem is in selecting a different directory.

Comment 6 Caolan McNamara 2008-12-30 13:49:53 UTC
nevertheless I strongly suspect gdk_x11_get_server_time as the culprit

you can get the pid of the hung process, then do

gdb
(gdb) attach pid
and do a bt, if you see gdk_x11_get_server_time in the trace near the top then that's the clincher
