Description oz_dkj 2014-04-15 12:30:19 UTC 
Using a macro to create a listbox in a Calc spreadsheet with python. Aimed to destroy the control when the user moved away from it (ie make it modal) by listening to the XFocusListener event. The result is a crash of LibreOffice.

The control did have XChangeListener for functionality and XKeyListener to destroy the control and worked fine. This version has been stripped to just implement XFocusListener and remove as many references as possible but the problem persists.

Searching here and the web in general produced one other similar case - also using python (with XFocusListener and open office). I guess LO, pyuno or my code is not coping with multiple threads destroying at once.

There was concern that there have been too many NEEDINFOs: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/2014-October/007977.html
..so I am setting this and all other NEEDINFOs I created lately that work on the platforms I tested *that match the reported platform* to RESOLVED WORKSFORME.

I guarantee that none of my NEEDINFOs are set carelessly, but I will follow a more strict WORKSFORME policy from now on.
