Accessibles with STATE_MANAGES_DESCENDANTS won't be expanded by default (2.58 KB, patch)
2011-07-07 21:32 UTC, Aline Bessa 		none Details | Review

Description Rich Burridge 2007-10-09 14:28:16 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

1/ Start up oocalc with an empty spread sheet.
2/ Start up accerciser.
3/ Keep expanding the component hierarchy until you get to the glyph
   for the spread sheet table.
4/ Expand that table icon

Watch as accerciser tries to display all 16777216 children.

Not sure what the best solution is. Perhaps it's as simple as having
a button that would allow you to stop the current expand operation.
Comment 1 Eitan Isaacson 2007-10-12 21:49:47 UTC 
Heh, you should have seen what accerciser was doing before I decoupled the tree populating routines. Yeah, a stop button would be nice. We need to think how it would be usable/accessible (where to put it).
Comment 2 Rich Burridge 2007-10-12 23:09:51 UTC 
I consider this a bug not an enhancement. accerciser is not usable
for looking at spread sheets in oocalc as it currently stands.
Comment 3 Eitan Isaacson 2007-10-12 23:41:32 UTC 
I put it as a milestone for the next stable release (1.2.0). Took off the enhancement part.
Comment 4 Eitan Isaacson 2008-03-22 01:35:09 UTC 
Sorry I didn't get to this yet, hopefully We couldhave something in trunk soon...
Comment 5 Aline Bessa 2011-06-22 17:26:10 UTC 
Bug confirmed.
Comment 6 Aline Bessa 2011-06-22 17:26:58 UTC 
And what if, instead of a 'stop' button, it was a hotkey?
Comment 7 Mike Gorse 2011-06-27 15:03:29 UTC 
An alternative would be not to expand children for objects containing STATE_MANAGES_DESCENDANTS; that state means that objects aren't meant to have their children enumerated anyway.  Perhaps this could be the default and there could be an option to expand their children if someone really wants it.
Comment 8 Aline Bessa 2011-06-27 15:15:28 UTC 
Thanks, Mike! Great suggestion!

Patch that proposes a solution for the issue according to Mike Gorse's suggestion.
