Yes, having the solar mutex locked while a listener is called looks like an
extremely bad idea. The listener take a long time, it may do all kinds of
things that may also require the mutex, like we see here with the destructors.
Or it may even spark other listeners. I read somewhere that the solar mutex is
for protecting the access to VCL, but it seems to me that it is also used for
other purposes, is that right?
Anyway, this makes it almost impossible to use listeners across the UNO bridge.
When I run my code as a macro inside LO there is no problem.
When I prevent the releases to happen then the listener also works without
problem, but of course this is very fragile. I do this by collecting the para's
in a list so that they will not be deleted. If I do this then the listener runs
to the end, printing all the paragraphs and then LO hangs. If I make this list
global and also parenum, so that won't be deleted at the end of the listener,
then LO stays alive. I can then manually delete these after the listener has
finished and there is no problem then.
See the modified code:
def showportions(doc):
if doc.supportsService("com.sun.star.text.TextDocument"):
global parenum
parenum = doc.Text.createEnumeration()
global paras
paras = []
while parenum.hasMoreElements():
para = parenum.nextElement()
paras.append(para)
print("get para: {}".format(para.String))
