Comment 1 Xisco Faulí 2018-09-26 16:21:10 UTC
Thanks for reporting the issue?
Did it happen just once or is it happening every time you go to the Check for Updates dialog?
Comment 2 gorsewood 2018-09-27 09:04:35 UTC
I have just tested with an empty document and it has happened again.
Comment 3 Telesto 2018-09-27 12:23:02 UTC
Is it possible to give a list of installed extensions (with version number). Excluding the default dictionary's?

Comment 6 Buovjaga 2018-10-23 13:22:14 UTC
Somehow similar to bug 118572
Might be interesting to install 6.2 and those extensions to it and try if it still crashes: https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Win-x86_64@42/current/

=> I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

I have just upgraded to 6.1.3.2 and the bug still exists.

To be certain the reported issue is not
related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your
Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and
re-test?

I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present

I have followed the instructions for resetting my user profile and that has cleared the problem.  Thank you.

Nice to know.

Extension update probably failed because the resource it wanted (a url for a dictionary in my case) was not available. General solution, catch the URL-not-responding/delivering-data  and translate it into can't-update which hands back to UI as a "please try later", allowing user to continue with other activities?

I'm new to bug reporting. Libre-Office crashed for me on 02/02/2019, so I don't think it's resolved yet. Note the date.

Please open a new report and include your crash report.
Comment 16 Buovjaga 2019-02-03 17:22:10 UTC
Jay sent me a direct email:
"My Libre office crashed. I submitted the crash report. It said, on submission, don't report this separately if your bug already appears when you look up this number.

It did appear as bug 120136. (I believe the description is accurate, if possibly a little unspecific.) So I didn't report separately. Now I'm told to submit my crash report separately.  (I don't know where it is at present, perhaps it's somewhere in my profile still). Please advise."

As the signature matches, let's keep this open.

Jay: looking at the crash report history, I guess you are using version 6.1.3.2. It would still be good, if you would copy and paste here the contents of your Help - About.

Please also list the extensions you are using.

Comment 18 Telesto 2020-05-16 19:54:03 UTC
Is this still reproducible.. nothing in the crash stats for recent versions..
Comment 19 axadasf 2021-04-01 07:18:16 UTC
Hi,
I installed LibreOffice 7.1 without the Check for Updates Extension. After the installation, if I choose to check for updates by clicking the "Online Update" tab, the program (Writer and Calc) crashes. You should not include an update option in the program if you didn't install the Check for Updates Extensions, or fix the bug so that the program doesn't crash, and just display a blank page when clicking the "Online Update" tab.

The "Online Update" tab is found here:
"Tools > LibreOffice > Online Update"
Comment 20 axadasf 2021-04-01 07:21:22 UTC
One fix is to install the Online Update Optional Component or to not click the Online Update tab. Or properly fix the bug.

That is bug 132901 and it's fixed in LibreOffice 7.1.3
OTOH, there are no reports of https://crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/signature/dp_gui::UpdateDialog::Thread::execute() in 7.0 nor 7.1.
