Hi Oliver,
Sure you can.
Thx.
Thus I will continue the further communication on the mailing list -
this mail is already sent to the mailing list.
I better clarify what I meant by "corrupted", though. The file would
load, and it "worked". However, it was in a state where the bug
happened. It doesn't happen automatically with a new file. Somehow
this particular file made the crash happen. So that is what I mean
when I say it was "corrupted". It obviously still loaded, etc.
I understand.
Do you still have such a document at hand?
Best regards, Oliver.

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
Can I forward your reply to our mailing list
dev@openoffice.apache.org to assure that all get the corresponding
information?

text document
i have definitely determined that the crash is somehow dependent
on a file which somehow became corrupted in the course of regular
use of openoffice. the file has subsequently been overwritten. it
is no longer useful for writer tracking down the problem.
sadly, that the document is lost.
however, and I said this in modifications to the bug report, the
file i attached DOES exhibit a problem when you follow the
instructions.
Where can I found this document? It is not attached to this mail.
Once found, can it be shared in public with the Apache OpenOffice
community?
deletion of one column causes the entire table to be deleted in
some cases, and causes multiple columns to be deleted in others.
there IS an underlying problem here, and I believe that material
to the more severe bug which is apparently more difficult to
reproduce.
Please have a look at my other reply on the mailing list regarding
the deletion of the complete table. In short, this is the current
behavior, unchanged at least since March 2007. This behavior has
been reproduced, but until now not the described crash.
Thanks in advance for your further help to figure out this issue
in order to be able to reproduce it.
Best regards, Oliver.

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)
Which document type did you use? - text document OR -
presentation document OR - ???
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.
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?
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.
Once it can be reliable be reproduced I agree that this crash
should be
fixed asap.
Best regards, Oliver.
