Thanks for reporting! @Bug reporter: it's very helpful for us to use a step-by-step guide how to reproduce this bug from scratch (see my example): I can confirm a crash using following steps: * Open writer * Open 'Styles and Formatting' (F11) * Select 'Page Styles' at the top of that dialog * Select 'Custom Styles' at the bottom selector * Right click somewhere in the dialog window > New * Name = horizontal (for example) * Next style = horizontal * go to 'Page'-tab * Set orientation to Landscape * go to 'Footer'-tab * check 'footer on' * uncheck 'same content on first page' * click Apply Result: crash Tested using Linux Mint 14 x64 and LibreOffice 4.0.1.2 rc Can't reproduce using LibreOffice Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: ec583253c3d761847c93a77fa10c065fc334fab) (build today) Created attachment 76633 [details]
reproduced on version 4.0.1.2
specifically version 4.0.1.2 (Build ID: 84102822e3d61eb989ddd325abf1ac077904985)
Sorry, I forgot to write what I did to reproduce the bug. So here it goes. * Open writer. * Press f11 to open the styles and formatting window * select the Page Styles button on the styles and formatting window * right click on the blank space of the styles and formatting window and select the "New" option * Name the page style "Vertical" * Press TAB to set the next style as vertical * Go to the Page tab and set the all margins to 1 inch. * Go to the header tab, check the footer on and uncheck the "same content on first page" checkboxes * Go to the foother tab and do the same thing. * Click on the "Apply" button * Click on the "Ok" button * right click on the blank space of the styles and formatting window and select the "New" option * Name the page style "Horizontal" * Press TAB to set the next style as Horizontal * Go to the Page tab and set the page to landscape all margins to 1 inch. * Go to the header tab, check the footer on and uncheck the "same content on first page" checkboxes * Go to the foother tab and do the same thing. * Click on the "Apply" button * Click on the "Ok" button * Click anywhere on the page After this last step the application starts "thinking" and hangs. I'll try to upload a youtube video if further clarification is requested. Reproducible with LO 4.0.4.0+ (Build ID: 924fdc8773a75de54b6ca6ceeaa686035b1f270) under Ubuntu 12.04 x86-64 The crash comes from the Apply button when you push it for the second page style you defined. Same problem for me with Version: 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: a80ae494533f3be2009d623478ff57e16bcc8be) Best regards. JBF confirmed in 4.1, but fixed in last 4.2 |
Created attachment 75672 [details] Screenshot of the application hanging I tried making two page styles. The two page styles are largely the same: the Next style is set as the same page style, 1 inch margins, headers and footers on, but different on the first page. the only exception (besides the name of the page style) is that one of the page styles is set to landscape and the other isn't. I started with the vertical page style, when I was done editing the page style I click apply and then ok. I do the same thing with the horizontal page style, but this time clicking on "Apply" the page style window hangs and it's title show a "(Not Responding)" message. I can do this from a blank writer document consistently. I have also had the application crash and send me to the document recovery screen.
