Description bugreporter 2017-02-24 05:33:41 UTC
Description:
If editing an existing file, and adding new content, LibreOffice crashes, and won't allow the edit to be created.  Additionally LibreOffice corrupts and destroys work previously done in the document file. LibreOffice for the Mac, Version 5.2.5.1 is a very unstable version..


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open existing document file with content.
2. Edit document with new content.
3. Attempt to save document.
4. LibreOffice errors out and crashes.


Actual Results:  
1. LibreOffice won't allow you to save edits, and destroys the file if you select the "cancel edit option".

Expected Results:
LibreOffice document should have saved the edits, without displaying an error message.  Additionally LibreOffice Document shouldn't have destroyed existing content.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No.  I don't have a profile setup on the MacBook Pro.

Additional Info:
Problem appears to have occurred with the last update to LibreOffice.  I am running LibreOffice 5.2.5.1 on the OSX El Capitain Operating System.

Also need this info:

What LO module? Writer, Calc, Draw, Impress?

What build of Apple hardware and GPU?

Does this happen with a newly created document?  And, if that is saved and reopened does it happen then?
