CRASH when FILEOPEN When trying to open "Boardworks" educational powerpoint files, Libreoffice crashes. The files are Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation (.ppt) and contain interactive Flash elements.
Would it be possible you attach an example file (or give a link)? Also, you may try last stable LO version 5.1.5 or 5.2.1 ?
Created attachment 127235 [details] Example powerpoint Here's an example powerpoint file, as requested, although I believe it is under copyright, and as such for research purposes only
Thank you for your feedback. On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I don't reproduce the crash Could you try with a newer LO version?
Installed the latest LO, and still get the crash :( crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/crash_details/cdce6c29-ff7e-4568-920f-6759aa0806dd
Thank you for your feedback. Let's put this one to NEW since there's a bt.
Increase importance since it's a crash.
Don't know what we can do about this seeing as the crash is in flash.ocx we call OleLoad in embeddedobj/source/msole/olecomponent.cxx:733 and it crashes in the depths of flash.ocx afterwards

Not an ordinary try/except anyway. I see we do have precedent of using __try/__except already. Maybe this is sufficiently miserable already that we could try that.
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/29199/ does indeed work to allow this document to load under windows 10 (32bit)
