Comment 1 Dennis Roczek 2014-09-05 10:15:09 UTC
seems to be a regression. I still have 4.2.0.3 installed on Win8.1 64-bit German(meh, get the updates simpler!) and I can see 1027 pages (although the file needs a very long time to load nearly all pages.)
Comment 2 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-09-14 02:04:28 UTC
Hello NODA, Kai

Thanks for submitting the bug. I can see that it loads all pages in 4.1.6, but will only display 16 of the 549 pages in 4.2.6 or 4.2.7.

Version: 4.2.7.0.0+
Build ID: 6db17c300e59884e652125a0b3b11bdffdea38e2
TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86@45-TDF, Branch:libreoffice-4-2, Time: 2014-09-11_14:25:14

In 4.3.3, it hung for 5 minutes on Linux and 10 minutes on windows and it still didnt load, so i cancelled them.

Version: 4.3.3.0.0+

TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86@45-TDF, Branch:libreoffice-4-3, Time: 2014-09-12_04:11:44

When it came to 4.4 master, it crashes when attempting to open.

So its no longer crashing on master.

Comment 5 Matthew Francis 2014-12-19 08:39:12 UTC
There are at least three issues in play with this file on current 4.3:

1) It loads very slowly
2) After it loads, performance is practically live-locked and entirely unusable
3) Everything after the TOC is missing


None of these problems exist on 4.4 and current master. I've done my level best to bibisect/bisect the bugs and/or their fixes, but there are just too many intersecting issues affecting the one file to make it a practical use of time.

Given that all the above will become moot when 4.4 is promoted to stable in January, and that I don't believe anyone else is going to make that effort within the next month either, on the balance of effort (waiting for a month versus spending days more effort tracking down a gaggle of bugs and their fixes) I think it's time to declare this done and move on.

-> Removing Whiteboard: bibisectRequest, and adding notBibisectable and fixedInMaster
-> Setting RESOLVED - WORKSFORME
Comment 6 Robinson Tryon (qubit) 2014-12-29 21:43:38 UTC
Replacing fixedInMaster with backportRequest.
4.2 is EOL, and this is fixed in 4.4 and 4.5 (master), so 
Whiteboard -> backportRequest:4.3
Comment 7 Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2015-09-15 15:49:16 UTC
4.3 is EOL, removing backportrequest
Comment 8 Robinson Tryon (qubit) 2015-12-15 11:18:06 UTC
