Description ronnystandtke 2006-05-27 20:38:16 UTC 
If you have a large address database and use the mail merge feature to 
generate form letter files (output to disk) the GUI freezes during the 
generation process. It looks like OOo crashed...
It would be better design to do this heavy stuff in another thread than the 
display thread.

database (like in other issue: native oo?) what is large? (how many rows ..)

Try this databse as a backend for a serial letter. Then go to File -> Print... 
Say "Yes" at the warning dialog, select File output and OK. OOo is frozen for 
about 10 seconds on my machine (2,7 GHz). The missing response looks like a 
crash.

i can confirm that such processes can take longer (in this special case i have
not waited 10, but over 5 sec.)  - with such few data this is too long - while
testing this i noticed that serial letter in general (by creating etc.) can get
really slow => this should be improved or as the 'small' solution there should
come a corresponding info message

send further to the requirements team

can you please try with OOo 2.2 and report the problems if it still exist 
please ? 

Thanks
Comment 7 ronnystandtke 2007-08-04 13:25:05 UTC 
It is still very slow but now I see at least a progress message, thanks.
