Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice Kills Windows Explorer

I think I am experiencing something related to this bug: https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53534 but before I start escalating this report, or opening a new one, I would like to get feedback on other users experience of this issue. If you have LO 3.6.0 or 3.6.1 installed, open Windows Explorer and browse for any ODF file, hover the cursor over the file and wait for the tool/file tip to appear, this is when Windows Explorer might crash. I say might, because it does not occur on all ODF file types, Base .odb files seem to generate the crash more frequently than others. If you can capture the crash report, it will clearly show that the culprit is either: C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 3.6\program\shlxthdl\shlxthdl.dll or C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 3.6\program\shlxthdl\shlxthdl_x64.dll Apologies for cross posting, but I think this is a critical issue, because we do not want LO to get the reputation of an application that kills core OS services.

RE: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice Kills Windows Explorer
Dave, Already tracked in Bugzilla. The LibreOffice shell extension is being patched for 3.6.1 release. Bug #52078 ( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52078 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52078 ) has been closed resolved for 3.6.1 release. It was in the most annoying bugs https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6 But two new related active bugs have been spun off. fdo#53533 ( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53533 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53533 ) and fdo#53534 ( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53534 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53534 ). The fdo#53533 is to handle malformed or misnamed ODF files--which cause the LibreOffice shell extension to crash the Windows Explorer shell. While fdo#53534 enhances the LibreOffice Windows shell extension to handle flat file ODF content. Meanwhile, the Windows shell extension is an optional component at installation--could exclude it. Or just advise users of issue of pointing to ODF documents in Windows Explorer causing Explorer to crash, and not to do it. Open from within LO application.
