            Bug ID: 141781
           Summary: Freeze when attempting to insert an image using a
                    hyperlink instead of a file
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.7.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: uffr_87 at aol.com

Description:
The application sometimes freezes upon attempting to insert an image from a web
source and then crashes after the OS detects the freeze. Also affects other
LibreOffice applications that are open at the same time such as Calc.
Reproduction of the error implies it happens most of the time, but sometimes it
works as intended. Only appears to happen in Impress, Writer simply says the
image can't be opened. Image used:
https://www.nrc.gov/images/reading-rm/doc-collections/maps/power-reactors-operating.png

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice Impress
2. Click an option to insert an image
3. Enter hyperlink to image instead of a proper filename
(Link attempted to be used in initial bug encounter:
https://www.nrc.gov/images/reading-rm/doc-collections/maps/power-reactors-operating.png)
4. Click OK or otherwise input

Actual Results:
Program and all other open LibreOffice applications froze permanently, had to
force close.

Expected Results:
Inserted the image properly, as if it were using an image off of the disk.


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Actually worked properly once, implying that this is a bugged feature, though
specifically for Impress as Writer said it could not be opened (without
freezing).
