Description gebuscher 2020-05-26 14:37:14 UTC
Description:
I was working on a table in which I had typed the character è without any problem, but then LibreOffice crashed after I typed the character into another cell. After the documents I had had open were restored, I reopened the document, retyped the character in the same place and the system crashed again.
I restarted the computer, repeated the process and again the system crashed.
I often use ASCII codes for accented characters and usually there is no problem, but very occasionally I have had a similar problem in the past.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Restarted computer. 
2.Opened the document.
3.Typed the character again, using the ASCII code (138), into the same place

Actual Results:
Libre Officee crashed again.
(After recovery of the document, I copied the character from a different part of the document and pasted it into the place without any problem)

Expected Results:
Having restarted the computer, I would have expected the problem to have cured itself.


Reproducible: Didn't try


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
During the process described above I also typed the character into another cell of the table successfully, without the system crashing.

 The problem section is in the right-hand cell of the last row on p. 3 (the row which has eskandalèz in the left-hand cell). The text in the problem cell starts 'noisy f. (JJT 29'. It was when I was trying to insert the following word - escalandèz - into the text and was typing the è that the system crashed each time.  (As indicated in my bug report, I managed to complete the word in the end by copying an è from elsewhere in the text and pasting it in.)

Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? 

If you recieve a crash report it would also be goot, if you can past link to that report here.

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 downloaded LibreOffice 6.3.6 after I had sent my original report, in the hope that perhaps the new version might eliminate the problem, but the system crashed again. 
I am afraid I haven't got the crash report from that occasion.

I can't confirm it with

Version: 6.3.5.2 (x64)
Build-ID: dd0751754f11728f69b42ee2af66670068624673
CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 10.0; UI-Render: GL; VCL: win; 
Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Sprache: de-DE

I've inserted è with ASCII-Code and with keyboard without any problem.

Gebuscher, you've changed status to RESOLVED FIXED. So it works for you now? If this is the case, status RESOLVED WORKSFORME is correct.
