Description me 2017-10-22 13:42:19 UTC
Description:
Saving a document (including autosave) fails with the error "saving the document WhateverItIsCalled:
Write Error.
Error in writing sub-document content.xml." This happens after converting a point in a line to a curve. This does not happen when drawing a curve in the first place, only a line.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new LibreOffice Writer document
2. Click the button "Show Draw Functions"
3. Click the "Insert Line" button
4. Draw a random line somewhere on the page
5. Click the "Points" button (has a picture of a polygon with a point highlighted with a pencil over it)
6. Select a point on the line (this works even with a new point that is created)
7. Click "Convert To Curve", "Smooth Transition", or "Symmetric Transition"
8. Save the document.

Actual Results:  
When saving, the error "saving the document WhateverItIsCalled:
Write Error.
Error in writing sub-document content.xml." is shown. LibreOffice behaves as expected (shows the line correctly, doesn't crash) until the document is saved.

Expected Results:
The document should save without errors.


Reproducible: Always

Where are you saving the file to ?

- USB key or external hard disk ?
- LAN network share ?
- cloud network share ?

For any of the above, please give further details.
