Bug ID: 162583
Summary: hash character in module1.XBA file previously
interpreted as comment but now crashes LibreOffice at
start
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: BASIC
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: andrew.james.he...@gmail.com
Description:
I had some (simplified below) VBA code in
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\user\SafeMode\basic\Standard\Module1.xba
Sub testMsgBox()
Dim sVar As Integer
#sVar = MsgBox("test")
End Sub
In the version 24.2.2.2 this wasn't causing any issues. I assumed the line
beginning with the # character was being ignored/ commented out.
When I installed 24.8.0.3_Win_x86-64.msi today, opening any LibreOffice Writer
or Calc file would immediately crash with the VBA editor/ IDE displaying the
above line. It appears to be the hash character is no longer interpreted as a
comment, if it ever was. After a long period of trial & error, I finally found
that replacing the # with ' fixed the problem.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Tools > Macros > Edit > add a subroutine
Sub testMsgBox()
Dim sVar As Integer
#sVar = MsgBox("test")
End Sub
2. close program & restart
3. observe crash
Actual Results:
crash with VBA stuck on line beginning with hash character
Expected Results:
the program should open without error
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
no other info - make this textbox optional?
