Do you know the steps to reproduce this issue?
Comment 2 m_a_riosv 2017-11-10 15:31:52 UTC
No I think it was saving a writer file with password. But it didn't happen again.
Comment 3 Dieter 2017-11-12 16:41:36 UTC
I'm not a developer, but I assume, that it is almost impossible to reproduce this bug without further informations. So I propose to close this bug and to reopen it, if it happens again and you can give some more informations. Do you agree?

4204 similar reports! For me it's like confirmation.

Do you think there was something in the clipboard when you tried to save the document ?

It has been already mentioned in ESC meeting in the crash reporter section.

some rough notes / code-reading.

Not sure that bug is a duplicate no; but I spent a little while chasing this one down. It -looks- from ptr arithmetic from the 0x14 crash-site, as if (somehow) we have a NULL SfxApplication - rather odd. Need to chase further. The crash happens during shutdown.
Comment 11 Michael Meeks 2018-01-16 15:41:33 UTC
Something of a hack here: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/48007 may help - hard to say since we can't reproduce this easily. Possibly it only shows on very busy machines where the user events are not processed fully before save (or something) =)

Actually - having a large number of writer windows open - perhaps with some floating windows too and then exiting -might- be enough to trigger this - if someone wants to play =)

From https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/5.3.6/RC1 looks like Caolan had some patches for  null deref.

It is a favourite programmers hobby de-referencing null =)

Hi Timur,
The backport to 6-0 is waiting for review in https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/48013/ and I've just cherry-picked it to 6-0-0 as well -> https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/48179/.

It seems the crash is no longer reported in http://crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/version/6.0.0.3.
@Michael Meeks, i guess we can close it as RESOLVED FIXED now.

Bug summary lists 4 reports for 6.0.0.3 and 2 for 6.0.1.1.

There are still reports for Version: 5.4.7.2 and Version: 6.0.4.2. So far no 6.1.

Seems like fixes decreased crashes considerably, from dozens of thousands in 5.4 to dozens. 
48 crashes for latest Version: 7.0.3.1, cannot filter but seems like it's for Build Architecture is x86, Windows 10.
Not sure anyone will look into this anymore.

Looks like there hasn't been a crash of this type since:

- 7.2.7.2.

This issue can probably be closed now.

PS. As of today, there are still crashes using !!!5.4.0.3 (released in November 2017)!!! Ugh, ancient, ancient versions still floating around out there...
