I have a problem that I am unable to resolve and there doesn’t appear to
be any info on it (google, search forums etc). I’m running opensuse 11.0
x86_64 and the opensuse packaged openoffice 2.4.1 under KDE 3.5.9.
I have a spreadsheet converted from Excel and have re-created the macros
within calc. These are nearly complete (in that I have a few actions to
add), but I am having a problem with a “memory leak/runaway” - ie when I
go to tools->macros->run macro
add macros to a new toolbar through tools->customise->toolbars
after a short time disk activity starts and “sysinfo” shows the free
memory down from 1.4GB + 300MB Caches to 14MB + 30MB Caches with free
swap down from 3.8GB to 1.9GB and everything virtually stops
Organising or running macros through “tools->macros->organise macros”
doesn’t exhibit any problems.
Using kubuntu (32bit) in Virtualbox doesn’t show the same symptoms.
I have downloaded the OOo versions of 2.4.1 and 3.0 to see if there is a
difference.
Any suggestions on resolving the problem welcome.
Thanks

I hate to admit a total screw-up on my part …
After trying the OOo versions and getting an “incompatible” JRE error
message with 2.4.1, I discovered that the opensuse installation had a
JRE available but, for some reason, it was not selected There was no
error message generated, presumably because it was suitable, but on
selecting it the problem “magically” disappeared
Still don’t know why it would occur as the macros are in Basic and still
work after the error message.
Now I can get on with deciding on the best way for a four-field sort (I
have found solutions).
