Description RoD_BT 2016-08-10 16:22:06 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0
Build Identifier: LibreOffice 5.2.0.4

I tried this with the LO applications that I use the most, being:
LO Writer
LO Impress
LO Calc
And I can confirm that, after performing an update today (August 10), when clicking on the button described as 'Styles and Formatting', this triggers a bug that closes all applications and force-kicks the user out of their session.
Also it's worth pointing out this bug did not happen prior to updating today.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open any application from LO Suite (Writer, Impress or Calc);
2.Click on the button to the right described as 'Styles and Formatting';
3.The latest update released on August 10 triggers a bug that closes all applications and force-kicks the user out of their session.
Actual Results:  
After the bug takes place, the system (Linux Mint 17.3 32-bit) shows the login screen, asking for a user and password.as if I had logged out of my session.

Expected Results:  
Before performing the update released today (August 10), clicking on the 'Styles and Formatting' button actually displayed Formatting options.

Hello RoD_BT, *,
I cannot confirm your bug with
OS: Debian Testing AMd64
LO: Version: 5.2.0.4
Build ID: 066b007f5ebcc236395c7d282ba488bca6720265
CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.5; UI Render: default; 
Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8)

nor

LO: Version: 5.2.1.1
Build ID: 2d75cf29e6d05e44c404f0547047f1da6563d380
CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.5; UI Render: default; 
Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); Calc: group


Could it be that LO triggered some hardware defect (flaky RAM, or something else?)?

Hello there, Thomas, and thank you for investigating the issue.

Could you please let me know how I can provide some extra info to detect the cause/trigger of the bug described before? I tried to reproduce the same error on other computers (laptops) and failed to do so. My problem is, as you may have noticed, that this turned out to be an isolated case.

are there any differences between the system where you reproduced this bug and your mentioned other computers (different distro / version / architecture, using the distro's version of LO, different WM/DE in use, etc.)? If you can only reproduce it on this particular system, it would be difficult for us to try to reproduce it ... :(

You could try to get a backtrace or a strace log by starting LO from commandline as described on https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information and / or trying one of our versions, if you could only reproduce it with Mint's LO version (but then you should close this bug and search it on https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint to see, if it is already reported there).

To find out, if it is a problem with the hardware of your system, this would be more difficult to answer (and would go beyond the scope of our bugtracker), but maybe an internet search for "Linux Mint automatic logout hardware problem" could be helpful ... ;)
