Viewing cursor object in IDE

[marus_b]

Hello everyone,

When viewing certain objects in the watch window in IDE, Libreoffice hangs. In this case I was trying to access a cursor object, but I remember it happening with a couple of other ones as well. I defined a cursor or an entire sheet as well as a cell range, with exactly the same result. Is that a normal behaviour, and if so why?

Hello,

If this can be duplicated, it is possibly a bug and should be reported → Bugzilla

Can also post a sample which fails (and how to cause the failure) to have it confirmed as a problem.

Hello @Ratslinger,
I’m attaching a file with a subroutine. Try to watch “oCursor” as you’re stepping through the sub. Every time I tried on my computer it hangs Libreoffice.

Try to watch “oCursor” as you’re stepping through the sub

Haven’t worked with cursors in some time. Have no problem stepping through this code. If I try to examine oCursor it will crash (takes a little time). If I replace with:

Sub CreateCursorTest
    sheet = ThisComponent.CurrentController.ActiveSheet
    cell = sheet.getCellRangeByName("A1")

    cursor = sheet.createCursorByRange(cell)
End Sub 

.
from → Cursors
.
I have no problem and can examine cursor. Think your issue may be what you are trying to accomplish.

From a quick MRI exam, create cursor opens up more to be set. You should examine with MRI or the Calc object inspector.
