Bug ID: 162752
Summary: Writer freezes when entering the menu "Character..."
of a rich text or plain text control element while it
is fully selected
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.0.3 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I have received a .docx file with a table and some text control elements within
it. LibreOffice Writer freezes for me when I select one of the elements with a
double click and I try to open the menu following menu: [Right click] -
Character - Character
The error occurs with the included LibreOffice 24.2.5.2 of Linux Mint 22 and
version 24.8.0.3 of "LibreOffice-fresh.standard-x86_64.AppImage". Graphics
acceleration on/off and safe mode don't make a difference.
Hardware:
AMD Ryzen 5 5600H with Radeon Graphics
Linux Mint 22 x86-64
8 GB RAM
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Writer document.
2. Click on Form - Content Controls and create either a Rich Text or Plain Text
element.
3. The new element will already be preselected.
4. Make a right click on the text element and choose - Character - Character...
5. LibreOffice Writer will freeze
Please also observe that LibreOffice will NOT freeze, when you deselect the
element first and you proceed with step 4.
LibreOffice will however also freeze, when you reselect the element by double
clicking with the left mouse button first before right clicking to open the
menu.
It seems like LibreOffice Writer will freeze when the entire element is
selected while the character menu is loading
Actual Results:
LibreOffice Writer will freeze
Expected Results:
The Character menu should open regardless of how/how much of the element is
selected
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
