Description Daniel Collins 2023-09-13 01:42:04 UTC
Description:
I have a set of several Impress files, heavy on math formulas/images, a little larger (~2M) than I normally use. The content was from a textbook publisher initially in Powerpoint format, converted to Impress (which isn't a problem in other cases for me). These files work fine in my current version of Libre Office (7.5.1.2), but they fail in Portable Libre Office (7.5.4). More specifically:

- At full size, the files fail to load in Libre Office Portable.
- If I split the files into about half-size sections, then they all load, but crash Libre Office Portable at some variable point into playing the slideshow.
- If I split the files into about quarter-size components, then they all load and play through all of the content successfully.


Steps to Reproduce:
Case A
1. Load full-size file in Impress Portable.

Case B
1. Load half-size file, play slideshow in Impress Portable.

Case C
1. Load quarter-size file, play slideshow in Impress Portable.


Actual Results:
A: File fails to load.
"Read Error. Format error discovered in the file in sub-document content.xml at position 398, 2811 (row, col)."

B: Application crashes part way through slideshow.

C: Slideshow runs successfully to end.

Expected Results:
Slideshow should load & run in each case.


Reproducible: Always

First half of full file: this file loads but crashes Libre Office Portable part way through playing slideshow.

Quarter-sized file A

A roughly one-quarter sized section of the initial file. This and other like-sized files collectively contain all of the original file's content, and all load & play through that content successfully.

Note that I initially observed this bug in Libre Office 7.5, and re-confirmed it after updating to 7.6 (in each case with matching version on the production PC and the Libre Office Portable image).

Requesting that this be reopened. The Portable Apps people are saying this is intrinsically a Libre Office bug -- specifically, that these larger math files crash the normal 32-bit Libre Office, in versions 7.6.1/7.6.2. Portable Apps only echoes the 32-bit version of Libre Office which has this problem (apparently, as I myself don't have the 32-bit version installed).
