Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 4367
3D objects cause exception in SiS630 drivers
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:52:24 UTC
OS: Windows 98 Second Edition 4.10.2222A This issue is also evident in release 641D When drawing a 3D object by selecting it from the left hand menu, once dragged to the shape, letting go of the mouse button displays the selection handles while the body of the selection remains blank, then OO reports: "An Unrecoverable error has occured" "All modified files have been saved and can probably be recovered at program restart" Windows then reports an exception error in glsis630.dll, the OpenGL driver for the SiS630 chispet, it then often blue screens, so I have not been able to capture the exact details of the exception error. The SiS driver is version 4.13.01.2060 - 8-Jan-2002 from SiS. No other program in the history of this machine has caused exceptions in the SiS drivers. The OpenOffice error message is 100% reproducable, the Windows exception error about 60% and the blue screen about 30%. Under Linux on the same machine using FrameBuffers there are no problems - because there are no SiS drivers involved evidently.
Reassigned to Wolfram.
Hallo, this seems to be a proplem with the Open GL driver. Some of them are programmed quite grubby. This should help: turn off the Open GL usage under tools/options/OpenOffice.org/view should solve your problem.
Issue closed.
