Description: I had a doc open in Writer and wanted to open another doc in Calc...it crashed the already open Writer doc...and I had to do recovery on the Writer doc and the empty Calc doc. Then I tried to open an Empty Writer doc...and then open another Calc doc...again it crashed. Steps to Reproduce: 1. eg. start empty Writer doc. 2. then start a new Calc doc Actual Results: it'll crash as you'll see. When you start Libreoffice up again it'll go into doc recovery mode and then you'll have both the docs open in Writer and Calc - this should be the correct action. Expected Results: It crashed Libreoffice totally...both Writer and Calc! Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: It should have both a Writer doc and a Calc doc open at the same time showing the latest doc you loaded or created.
Several things you may try: 1) upgrade to 6.1.4 since 6.0.7 is last LO version from 6.0 branch. 2) since you use OpenGL rendering, check you use the last graphic driver (it includes OpenGL and OpenCL parts) 3) take a look to https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps if you still reproduce the crash after 1) and 2)
Thank you for reporting the bug. I can not reproduce this big in Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 3c964980da07892a02d5ac721d80558c459532d0 CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 6.1; UI render: default; VCL: win; TinderBox: Win-x86@42, Branch:master, Time: 2018-12-12_02:07:45 Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
So please test in safe mode Menu/Help/Restart in Safe mode, with a clean profile.
Thank you for reporting the bug. 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
How do I make backup of my profile? what is store in my profile? only the settings which I can reproduce...or also the History of docs opened?
You can do the backup through the Restart in Safe mode. Through the link in comment#4 you can see about the user profile and their content.
Oki, I guess it solved it for some reason...at least it does not crash now. So not sure what had happened. It had been a while since I had restarted the laptop... Sorry guys I know should have tried this first but I didn't think about even I'm an IT-guy myself :) Thx BTW...love you guys' work with Libreoffice! Have used it for several years now...it's getting better and better and I recommend it to everyone who asks for advice :) Happy New Year to all of you :)
Since there's no specific fix, let's put this one to WFM then.
