@Rainer Bielefeld, retested on LibreOffice v4.0.2.2 on Windows XP on both bugs suggested.
First post from this 33266 bug is: ======================================== Steps to reproduce - Install LO without Base - Open Writer - Select Tools -> Bibliography Database - LO crash ======================================== Crashes with "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library. Runtime Error! Program: C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 4.0\program\soffice.bin abnormal program termination". I have tested this on two computers. In one crashes with above error and on another computer works fine. The difference is that LibreOffice crash computer there is no LibreOffice Base installed. So my suggestion is to gray out the Tools | Bibliography Database if LibreOffice Base is not installed. First post from bug report 62478 bug is: ======================================== 1. Launch LibO 2. From LibO Start Center: Menu 'Tools -> Options -> Expand LibreOfficeDev Base' 3. Click 'Databases' > Crash ======================================== Tested on LibreOffice 4.0.2.2 on Windows XP on two computers. Crash does not appear in my case. So in my humble opinion I have commented on correct bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/527938 Title: Writer crashes on Tools->Bibliography without libreoffice-base Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Fix Released Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Invalid Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “libreoffice” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “libreoffice” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 Candidate: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 Version table: *** 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal: lowriter -nologo click Tools -> Bibliography Database is that it does not crash. 4) What happens instead is it crashes every time.
