Description: During editing in Libre Office Impress 4.2.8.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 if I attempt to change the case of the letters in a bullet list containing an empty list item (list item with no character (no spaces too)) to "Capitalise Every Word", LibreOffice Impress crashes. add empty list item with no characters in it by hitting the "Enter" key twice. highlight the whole list right click and from the context menu select "Change case" Select "Capitalise Every Word" from the list of options that appear Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a bullet list e.g one with 3 items . 2. Make sure one of the list items is empty (no characters, spaces included) while the others have text. 3. highlight the whole list 4. right click and from the context menu select "Change case" 5. Select "Capitalise Every Word" from the list of options that appear. Actual Results: Libre Office Impress Freezes Expected Results: Convert words in the list so that the first letter of each word is capitalized.
