Description sdc.blanco 2020-01-06 01:24:29 UTC
This bug was filed from the crash reporting server and is br-9ea9716f-6f3a-445a-b31c-41da42487d12 

Also: 
https://crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/crash_details/ea521f92-1c3a-4679-87f2-11b7a56e17f9 
and 
https://crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/crash_details/f700dad2-e18c-4b23-a27c-62ab3d2ebe11

=========================================

1. Ctrl+F2->Variables->User Field (General format)
2. Put "Foo" into Name box
3. Apply
4. Input Field (select Foo), give Reference
5. Insert
6. Type something into Review Views
7. Ok
6. User Field
7. Put "Bar" into Name box
8. Put cursor into empty Value box
9. "Close" (maybe a few times?) (it doesn't close).
10. Insert

Crash

Additional information:  

1. For the first three crashes, the progress bar in the "Documents are Being Saved" box stopped around 80-90% (after a while I shut it down).

But in the latest crash the recovery process completed itself.

2. When the document is recovered, both the Fields dialog and Review Fields dialog boxes are opened with the document (even though the Review Fields was closed at the time of the crash).

3.  Not trying to make a crash, just working with bug #111888, comment 14
Comment 1 Xisco Faulí 2020-01-10 11:01:04 UTC
I can't reproduce it in

Version: 6.5.0.0.alpha0+

Could you please try to reproduce it with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ ?

Cannot reproduce with:

The day when I could reproduce this crash, the "Field Dialog" box would not close (but "Insert" would give a crash).  

Have encountered this situation several times before (not being able to "Close" the Field Dialog box) -- but have not been able to identify how to reliably produce that problem.  I mention this in case it might be relevant.
Comment 3 sdc.blanco 2020-01-12 17:42:14 UTC
Have finally found a reliable recipe -- which also crashes:

Version: 6.5.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: 035c7717c135c66c0ec025500b73ae9c13b7c586
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: GL; VCL: win; 
Locale: da-DK (en_DK); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

1. Make a User Field (Ctrl-F2, Variable tab, Type - User Field, Name (your choice), Apply )
2. Insert an Input Field using the User Field. (enter some text in the field)
3. Leave the cursor inside the Input Field in the document.
(now you should not be able to "Close" the Fields Dialog.)
4. Press "Insert" (with cursor still in Input Field)
Crash!

Additional info:

1. The Recovery process tries to save the file, but ran for a long time, so I closed it.
2. The offer to send a crash report was accepted, but no URL was given.
3. Understand now that I could not Close the Fields dialog, because the cursor was in the Input Field.
4.  Have not re-tested the recipe with 6.3.4.2, but expect that it will make a crash.

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could reproduce this by following comment 3.
Comment 9 Buovjaga 2020-06-10 12:03:22 UTC
Bibisected with Linux 43max to range https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+log/994362b3bd6d2a988e031828bfb36f1752042319..ed5cf167c695cbf45f3b6150eb8bd36b992963e1
This certainly jumps out: https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/50f0bb85b7e18001886fdf8bb03eb1d138838b90%5E%21/
Resolves: #i124179# trigger update User Fields...

and related Input Fields when user directly edits a User Field Input Field

Btw. my Step 4. modification of the steps in comment 3 was:
Press "Insert" (with cursor still in Input Field). Press Cancel
Crash!

This was super annoying to bibisect as I had to use this trick to get over the boring skipped commits: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bibisect#Unable_to_start_soffice
but then I always forgot that I needed to first quit LibreOffice and start it again normally or otherwise the crash would keep the while loop going!
Comment 10 Heiko Tietze 2020-11-23 14:29:48 UTC
Name = Foo, Value = Bar -> Insert and whether I repeat this before/after the field or at any place in the document I can do Insert and Close without crash.
Comment 11 Justin L 2021-08-17 09:06:05 UTC
Unable to reproduce on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04). Tried master, bibisect 7.0 oldest, bibisect 6.2 master.

I tried variations of comment 3 and comment 9's reproduction steps. But I could always close. I could always insert (getting a field with the visual output "0" regardless of what I put in the value field - which I usually left blank).

I can't repro now either. Even if the field format is text, I can't type into the inserted field directly in the document canvas.

If you have a look at summary of crash signature, you can see, that crashes are related to Windows: https://crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/signature/SwDocUpdateField::MakeFieldList_(SwDoc%20&,int)

Well, I don't have an explanation on why Linux is missing there, but as you can see from my comment 9 I could bibisect this on Linux.

On Linux, using the steps in Comment 3, it crashed too but gives a different signature:
- SwTextField::ExpandTextField in 7.1
- SwTextField::ExpandTextField(bool) const in 7.2
https://crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/crash_details/595e0da6-95d4-4dc0-b1d7-5ccf52fdefbd
Only a handful of reports for that one, just on Linux. So that might be what other Linux testers here were seeing. The commit Ilmari found in his Comment 9 bibisect is consistent with that.
I haven't found these signatures in existing bug reports, but I can't reproduce since 7.3 (the inserting process is a bit more erratic).

About the Windows-only crash we are talking about here, I tested on Windows 10 with LO 7.4.5.1 and couldn't crash it.

However, I see on the crash report website that the crash has happened in 7.4.

Seth and Dieter, are you still able to reproduce a crash in recent versions?
Comment 17 Dieter 2024-08-14 09:58:10 UTC
Seems to work with
