Base 3.5.2.2 hangs

Hello everybody,

I have installed LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 with base on Win 7 Home Premium (both French). I have Java 6 update 31 also installed.

I am able to start LibreOffice without any problem. I am also able to open any text, spreadsheet, ... document without any problem. However, once in a while, when opening any of my *.odb database, LibreOffice goes into the "No response" status. After having "killed" it and restarted from scratch, I am able to open my database.

I have tried to change the setting in tools->options->Java to select a different JRE (I have 1.6.0_22 and 1.6.0_31 installed) without success.

Any suggestion?

Charles

This sounds similar to an issue with Base in the past, though it has
been gone for a while I thought. The cause as I recall was the JRE not
fully exiting out between closing and opening of two ODB files (using a
java based database of course). IIRC it was most prominent when using
the quickstarter feature under windows.

So - if your problem happens when opening an ODB file for the first time
in a session it would be different.

But if the problem only happens when opening a second (or subsequent)
ODB file during the session:

If you are running quickstarter disable it and see if the problem goes
away.

Let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Hi Drew,

Ok. I went through the configuration and tried both settings for quickstarter with the same result.

Your statement "So - if your problem happens when opening an ODB file for the first time
in a session it would be different. " is interesting since it seems that I never manage to be able to open a local .odb database the first time. It is only after having killed the application (sometimes several times in sequence) that I manage to open it.

Having a look at the Event Viewer, the error states "Cross-thread deadlock".

Open some Writer or Calc document, hit F4, right-click the
"Bibliography", choose "Edit Database". This should open a most simple
database document connected to a dBase directory in your user profile.
This database does not depend on Java.

That sounds like an exclusive mutex release problem (causing a race
condition) that I thought had been solved in master and pushed to 3.5 -
perhaps not after all ? Might be worth filing a bug report though if you
can get it to do that systematically.

Alex,

I have filed a bug report on Monday.

Best regards
