Description James B. Byrne 2017-02-13 15:45:26 UTC
OS CentOS-6.8
L00 v.5.3.0 installed from rpms

Symptom.  When editing an ODF BASE or CALC docyument LOo will frequently crash and enter document recovery.  When the document is recovered LOo frequently immediately crashes when any further editing is attempted.  LOo then enters essentially an endless loop of crash and recovery.

This behaviour was first encountered with LOo 5.0.  It is present in 5.1 and 5.2. as well as 5.3  We currently use 4.3.7.2 which is the last version that we know of that works without this problem.

Did you try to rename your LO directory profile? (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#GNU.2FLinux)

Would it be possible you retrieve a backtrace? (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information#GNU.2FLinux:_How_to_get_a_backtrace)

A minimal Calc ODS which crashes whenever I try to move a column

The attached file is a minimal ods which will cause 5.3 to crash if I try and move the column with data.  Or insert a column before it.  It may take a couple of tries before the crash happens but it inevitably occurs.

If  run libreoffice5.3 from the command line this is what I see when it fails:

$ libreoffice5.3 

(soffice:7341): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `object->ref_count > 0' failed

I can't reproduce it in

Please, try to rename your profile directory as mentioned in comment 2.
Comment 5 Xisco Faulí 2017-02-15 15:26:43 UTC
btw, is OpenCL enabled? Tools - Options - OpenCL?
Comment 6 James B. Byrne 2017-02-15 15:44:27 UTC
I had already renamed .config/libreoffice to .config/libreoffice.old_2 .  That did not change the observed behaviour.

I have no idea what OpenCL is.
