Description ivanpeterm 2020-05-27 17:31:55 UTC
Description:
The "clone formatting" icon crushes my desktop session and sends me to log in screen. Even worse, I can't see any text on the login screen at that point. I only see the password input field. 
When I input the password and press enter, I log in to a fresh desktop with all programs closed and all unsaved work lost.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Type something into libreoffice writer
2.click "clone formatting" icon
3.

Actual Results:
The screen suddenly blacks out. When I move the mouse a bit, the screen flickers a bit and then takes me to the login screen. The login screen has no text at all. I only see a password input field and two unnamed buttons

Expected Results:
Copy text format/style and paste it where directed to.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Thank you for reporting the bug. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? 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 tried Version 6.4.4.2 and it didn't have this issue.
