Created attachment 147787 [details] file in which froze when JPG was inserted Worked with image from internet catalog in Gimp. Scaled down in size, upped DPI to 300 for later printing. Exported as JPG. Opened ODT file and edited to remove some text. Used Insert/Image from a local file (above). First time LO froze; could close it by clicking on X in the window frame and ordering a shutdown of LO in the dialog box. Second time restarted LO from app menue, entire machine froze; had to log out with CTL-ALT-DEL. Third time restarted LO but on inserting image something happened to LO--could not restart it from app menu or by searching for it in the command window of the app menu. Did a Update Unconditionally in Yast (in openSuse 15) for the main LO elements. Still won't launch.
Created attachment 147788 [details] image that crashed LO & froze computer when inserted in ODT
please add info from dialogue Help->About LibreOffice I think >>>(in openSuse 15)<<< it's else one suse problem I can't repro it in Версия: 6.2.0.1 (x64) ID сборки: 0412ee99e862f384c1106d0841a950c4cfaa9df1 Потоков ЦП: 4; ОС:Windows 10.0; Отрисовка ИП: GL; VCL: win; Локаль: ru-RU (ru_RU); UI-Language: ru-RU Calc: threaded
At this time LibreOffice does not start, beyond a few seconds of a new tab in the panel. The tab then disappears. For that reason I can't provide information from the Help/About dialog box. Do you want me to preserve the current LO installation for some kind of analysis? Otherwise I'll uninstall and reinstall. Or, would you recommend installing LO 6.2 RC1 to replace the current files? I will be working on documents shortly after Christmas, so I need a stable version of LO. Thanks.
Removed and re-installed LibreOffice. Opened the ODT file ok. Inserted one JPG image OK, not the previous one and in a different postion, away from other images. Then I repeated the move that prompted this bug report and noticed something: the freeze occurs not when the new image is inserted if it is in a clear area. LO freezes when the inserted image is moved to overlap an existing image in the document (the piano). Again, LO froze and had to use the "X" on the window frame to close LO (after a time out when LO didn't respond). Is there something that prevents two JPG images from being positioned with an overlap? I"m used to positioning images freely in Impress, with overlaps; not in Writer? Also, again LO no longer opens for a USR from the app menu or from a terminal command line, but will from the command line for ROOT.
Installed LO 6.2 RC1. Does not have this problem.
