Description Dave Lovelace 2016-10-10 11:34:56 UTC
Description:
I was entering data in a LibreOffice spreadsheet.  I mis-typed a combination keystroke.  I was intending to type ctrl-shift-V, and I'm not sure what I did type.  Best guess is ctrl-shift-enter, but that's iffy.  Anyway, whenever I tried to open LibreOffice (calc, but also tried Writer), it would tell me I needed to recover the file I'd been working on.  I'd tell it to go ahead, and it would tell me it was recovered.  Then, when I clicked "Finish", LibreOffice just went away again.

My final solution was to reinstall LibreOffice.  In the process, I up-revved to 5.2.2.2.  I'm not 100% sure what I was running before, as I couldn't get into LibreOffice to verify, but it did appear to be 5.1.3 (I had saved the setup program file).  Reinstalling did fix the problem, it seems.  At least, this time when I recovered the spreadsheet, it continued and let me edit it.

Sorry for a handful of nothing.  I couldn't afford to wait & try to debug further.

I'm sorry, I don't know whether the problem is reproducible.  The crash happened every time, but I'm not sure what keystroke I used.  So the reproducibility stuff below is pretty iffy.  You will understand why I'm not going to try it again, I hope.



Steps to Reproduce:
1.(One time) While entering data in calc, press ctrl-shift-enter (not sure what keys, think that was it)
2.LibreOffice dies.
3.Restart LibreOffice.  Agree to let it recover file.
4.Click Finish.
5.LibreOffice dies.


Actual Results:  
LibreOffice dies.

Expected Results:
File is recovered, LibreOffice opens.


Reproducible: Always

NEEDINFO. As you can probably imagine such a vague bug description is not reproducible which makes the bug report unworkable. If you figure out the steps please set to UNCONFIRMED with a clearer set of repro steps. Thanks for your understanding.
