Description Dave 2017-09-19 21:29:39 UTC 
Description:
In Writer 5.3.6 and 5.4.1 trying to change the font leads to a "bad allocation" message and the program shuts down.
This happened quite a long time ago too, so I think one of the code contributors is using a bad sequence copied from earlier code. Maybe on purpose?
How about checking the latest installation files before putting them on the web...

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open new writer document
2. in the menu bar choose different font than the default
3. watch the program produce the message and then shut down

Actual Results:  
same as steps to reproduce; uninstalling using Programs and Features in the control panel and reinstalling version 5.2.6.2 gets things back to normal

Expected Results:
after reinstallation of the previous version the problem was solved.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
If 5.2.6.2 works okay after uninstalling the updates I think the profile must be alright.
