Re: [orca-list] Libreoffice Calc is Pissing me off These Days!

hi
I've just downloaded this spreadsheet. It's quite large for a spreadsheet. I have managed to freeze LO once, by following your instructions. I also tried converting it to an ODF spreadsheet, and it seemed to work, going from 8 mb to 236 kb, but I'm not sure it saved all the images. I quickly deleted the odf version and was playing with the xlsx file. 
Thanks

Hello,
I am afraid when accessibility is being used Libre office Calc tends to freeze randomly, however I can't give precise steps to reproduce. Closest I can get to provide steps to follow is having a play with the following huge document: http://files.pvagner.tk/145018538481.xlsx It's a huge file, unfortunatelly it's not in english. That is a price list including product pictures their descriptions and different grade prices. I can make Libreoffice Calc to freeze by going to the sheet named IP by repeatedly pressing ctrl+page down. Then when this sheet is displayed then sometimes Libreoffice Calc freezes right when pressing ctrl+home to jump to the top of that sheet. Sometimes pressing ctrl+home goes to the cell addressed A1. If that works out. Then I can move down to A5 by repeatedly pressing down arrow key. Then moving over the cells B5, C5, D5, E5, E6, D6, C6, B6, A6, A7, B7, C7.... and so forth eventually makes Calc to freeze. So you are moving left to right in the current line, then go down a line, move right to left, move down another line and repeat until you can see Calc freezing. I think it has something to do with images being displayed in there but this is only my wild guess and I can't prove it.
If you are brave enough to try duplicating this, then I think you can reproduce this. 

Greetings

Peter

hi
Could you send me some nonsensitive spreadsheets to test with? Just one will do. I'm trying to get a handle on exactly what's going wrong, and I don't have any spreadsheets to work with. I don't think gnome has much to do with lo. That said, if there are problems, this needs to be reported to this list so joanie can take a look. I'll take care of that you don't need to if you don't want to. If libreoffice calc isn't working like it should it needs to be fixed. As for the a11y fixes, I'm not completely sure. I do remember quite a few were worked around in orca back before 3.18 was released, and there were a couple of writer fixes. I don't have specifics off the top of my head but I can probably find something. If all your spreadsheets are sensitive some sample spreadsheets would do on the web, if I can find any. I need a fairly complex one, though it obviously can't have ms macros since libreoffice apparently throws a fit with those. 
Thanks

OK, I upgraded to libreoffice-fresh (current version 5.0.4-3 on
Arch). I still seem to have trouble with a couple spreadsheets; this
might be a problem with the sheets which means it will be a bitch to
figure out. I might have to export the thing and re-create the
thing. I have some formulas and stuff in it so we'll have to see. I am
able to load a couple *.xls spreadsheets without problems so far.

I am curious though; if there are supposed a11y fixes, I wonder what
they actually are. I still don't get any announcements when I shift
arrows to select cells. In fact, it appears that shift arrows don't
even move the focus from the original cell. Does Calc no longer select
cells with shifted arrow keys?

Just trying to restore my faith in gnome here.:)

hi
Before taking that drastic a step, try upgrading to libreoffice-fresh. It's at version 5.3, and has lots, and I do mean lots, of accessibility and stability fixes. At least try that. If that fails, it could be your spreadsheets although that's not likely. 

Thanks

I've been having problems lately with Libreoffice calc locking up on
me almost every other time I try to open a spreadsheet. I am using
libreoffice-still-4.4.3 (latest from Arch repos. When the file is
opened, the program hangs and eventually, a message pops up that
soffice has stopped responding. Like, did gnome degrade to that of
Microsoft Window? Really, I may have to migrate all my spreadsheet
activities over to the Mac; at least Numbers works all the time for
me.

I don't have any other debug info available so this may be hard to
track down. In any case, is the "Unstable" versions of Libreoffice
better than this? As far as I'm concerned, I cannot any longer use
Calc for anything useful on my system.

Any ideas?
