I can't reproduce it in

Comment 5 Dave Richards 2018-02-23 15:02:23 UTC
Was failing on:

Version: 6.0.1.0.0+
Build ID: 9e7344ae5776117e94684713767fae1b0afbb6b9
CPU threads: 40; OS: Linux 4.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2;

Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group

So I upgraded to this on the clone and it's doing the same thing:

Version: 6.0.2.0.0+
Build ID: d1a4f50d686054b757320c0ef3f3dc4c724c685c

So the regression happened prior to the first daily build.

I already reset the user profile back to defaults, same thing.  This is happening to all of us, this is not a user setting issue.
Comment 7 Xisco Faulí 2018-02-23 15:20:20 UTC
I can't reproduce it in

no crash with Version: 6.1.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: dc8d8cbf30ca3429236eca16b8f447ef5d4e61d3

but maybe we need ms access db file for reproduce? Could you paste crash report ID here?
Comment 10 Xisco Faulí 2018-03-01 19:25:23 UTC
Does it crash with an empty document?
OTOH, might it be related to the address list you use ?
Comment 11 Xisco Faulí 2018-03-01 19:28:35 UTC
Could you please follow the instructions provided at this link < https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/How_to_get_a_backtrace_with_WinDbg > and submit a backtrace?
That way a developer can look into the underlying reason of the crash.

Dave: could you get a backtrace of the crash on Linux?

In comment 5 we learned from Dave that it happens on Linux.
Comment 18 Timur 2022-04-07 11:29:44 UTC
This bug wasn't reproducible for all, but also doesn't have sample database. 
Please retest with current LO you are using and attach minimal sample database without personal data.
Comment 19 Timur 2022-04-07 11:37:35 UTC
We don't know if it's MDB or ACCDB and how it's accessed by LO.
