Comment 1 Julien Nabet 2020-07-05 18:52:18 UTC
Could you retrieve a backtrace? (see 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information#GNU.2FLinux:_How_to_get_a_backtrace
)

Do you reproduce this if you follow these steps:
- open terminal/console
- export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen && soffice --writer
- insert symbol
?
Comment 2 V Stuart Foote 2020-07-05 19:03:54 UTC
And, what "symbol button"?  Do you mean the 'Special Character...' dialog? Found on the Insert menu, or the Standard toolbar.

Comment 6 Julien Nabet 2020-07-06 07:11:59 UTC
It seems you use "Tabbed" user interface, could you confirm?

Also, you can try the steps from:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps
?
Comment 7 johnks 2020-07-06 11:40:11 UTC
ok. good news. i did a complete profile reset and the problem seems to have resolved. i suppose i can go ahead and close the bug?
Comment 8 Julien Nabet 2020-07-06 11:45:14 UTC
Thank you for your feedback.
Let's rather put WFM since there hasn't been any specific patch to fix this.
