Description David King 2012-04-10 10:56:29 UTC

When I select all text in document (using CTRL-A) and then choosing a font colour from the toolbar, Writer completely crashes and disappears. All work since last save is lost. When I reopen Writer it tries to recover my document but everything since last save cannot be recovered. I am losing lots of work due to this bug. This did not happen when I was using the 3.5.0 version, but the program kept bugging me to upgrade to 3.5.2.

[Not reproducible] Works fine with "LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 - Mac OS X 10.5.8 (32bits) Catalan UI"

Comment 2 Ferran Vidal 2012-04-22 11:24:37 UTC

[Not reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 - GNU/Linux Ubuntu 11.10,English
UI"

Comment 3 Nino 2012-04-23 12:35:03 UTC

@David: Do you see this behavior with all documents? If not, could you provide a (simple) sample document and attach it to the bug? Might also be a problem in the document.

[Not reproducible] with LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 (Build-ID: 235ab8a-3802056-4a8fed3-2d66ea8-e241b80), German UI/Locale, running on MacOS X 10.6.8

I tried with a 290 pp. complex typesetting example (a proceecings volume with mixed languages, tables, etc.): selecting all text at once and changing the text color works just fine (and even fast, BTW!).

So I suppose this bug is specific to some (type of) document ... I can just second Nino's question: please attach some sample document showing the crash in question.

With no file attached and since no one seems to be able to reproduce the problem, I put it as WFM.
David: if you still reproduce the problem with a newer LO version (3.5.6 or 3.6.2), don't hesitate to reopen this tracker and attach the file.
