After print preview, exit preview and press F11 - writer crashes instantly. Happens on plain writer as well as in one with page of text. This is my very first bug report, so let me know if i filled something wrong way or forgot sth. Thanks
2 things you can do: 1) Rename your LO directory profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Windows) 2) Give a try to brand new 5.1.4
So... renaming profile changed nothing, it still crashes. I tryed to repeat crash on another PC, with LO 5.1.2.2 version, running on Win10 (another pc in the office); it crashes too. But home, on LO 5.0.3.2. on Linux mint, its not. I reinstalled version to latest 5.1.4.2 and easily repeared crash. Note i probably should mention earlier: I do install x86 version of LO on x64 Windows, because x64 version caused some troubles in the past (on the matter of scanning devices and something else I cant remember).
You could try getting a backtrace of the crash: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/How_to_get_a_backtrace_with_WinDbg
Thank you for your feedback. If you install x86 LO version, did you check you use Java 32 bits? Indeeed, using x86 LO implies you should have Java 32 bits. In the same way, using x86-64 LO implies you should have Java 64 bits. Of it was not the case, please apply this piece of advice and rename your LO directory again so LO will search by itself the newly installed Java.

> If you install x86 LO version, did you check you use Java 32 bits? How can i check which version i have? in "about Java" i can only find its release no.(its "Version 8 Update 91 (build 1.8.0_01-b15)"), but not its architecture. > Of it was not the case, please apply this piece of advice and rename your LO > directory again so LO will search by itself the newly installed Java. Which piece of advice? Im not generally sure what you ment by this, because i reinstalled older version to lates "release" version - 5.1.4.2. So i should rename LO user directory profile again and test it after renaming? Also, how is it so that no matter what architecture OS is, i always get x84 version offer on main download button (http://cs.libreoffice.org/download/)? It looks this way that its recommanded version to my OS. ...i know i can choose other versions beneath the button.

Sorry about renaming your LO directory profile, I had overlooked you quoted you had already did it. About knowing if you use Java 32 or 64, this link is interesting: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8825244/how-do-i-detect-whether-32-bit-java-is-installed-on-x64-windows-only-looking-at Finally, let's put this one to NEW since there's a bt.
Based on where my Java is installed, i only have x86 version. Im sure i have not changed its default instalation path.
