Re: [libreoffice-users] Too many variables in writer document problem

Hi :)
Good.  So you have found a work-around for the short-term - mid-term.  

For the longer-term please can you post a bug-report against LibreOffice 
separately from the OpenOffice bug-report
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
You can ignore most of the advice in there.  Just use the link to start the new 
bug-report.  


If you can upload attachments directly to the bug report that would be great but 
just giving the url address that you gave lower down in this thread might be 
good enough.

If you can also give a url address of the OpenOffice bug-report that might help 
the triagers and the devs.  A full url is good because people can just click on 
it to get to the right place.  


The devs do try to work through OpenOffice bug-reports but it's going to be 
increasingly difficult due to the LO code-clean-up and rapid development.  Some 
issues are going to magically disappear or become much easier to fix.  Hopefully 
this might be one of those issues.  


I guess you have already looked at 
Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Memory
I don't think it will help but it might be worth trying.  

I'm not a dev so i don't understand most of the question.  I have cc'd this 
email back to the Users List but it would be best (imo) to contact the devs 
directly or through the bug-report
http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

Many thanks and regards from
Tom :)

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Too many variables in writer document problem

Hello,

no, there´s no other answer than to reduce the number of variables
( What I actually did ). It seems to me that the problem looks like
jeoparding pointer or lack of allocated/overwritten memory space. The
program seem to loose the information what is name/reference of varibles
and their content. Therefore itdisplays their name instead of their
content.

I tried to show what happens in the screen shots - I know thats rather
difficult to understand for someone else - especially because it´s a
tricky way to use writer for such a task.
Maybe we can start discussion.

By the way - are you a LO developer?

Regards
