Bug ID: 173441
Summary: Writer abruptly quits, GTK error in logs
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.7.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I was typing into an ODT file (imported from an official government old DOC
form they still use), reformatting by adding the following sentence as a list
element (previous was a list, press Delete, and then Enter), and it broke,
displaying the menu to recover the document.
Steps to Reproduce:
I was doing this, not saying this will reproduce the error:
1. Export an old DOC to ODT, and enable Track Changes.
2. If there are several sentences, the first should be converted into a list,
3. Press Delete, and then Enter, and it broke
Actual Results:
The Writer broke, displaying the menu to recover the document.
Recovery did not work the first time.
I opened Writer a second time and recovered to a previous state (where none of
the sentences was still a list).
I reset my user profile to try to prevent this from happening again (but this
does not solve the bug).
Expected Results:
LibreOffice SHOULD capture exceptions and not break. If these are external,
LibreOffice SHOULD check the environment and let the user know if there are any
incompatibility issues (GTK version, Java version, etc)
Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
User Profile Reset: Yes
