Description: It is impossible to save any Writer document using the 32-bit build coming with Debian Buster Backports: Version: 7.0.2.2 Build ID: 00(Build:2) CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (C); UI: en-US Debian package version: 1:7.0.2-2_bpo10+1 Calc: threaded uname -a: Linux debian32 4.19.0-12-686 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.152-1 (2020-10-18) i686 GNU/Linux Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install LibreOffice 7 on a Debian Buster/32 bit box from backports 2. Launch Writer 3. Try to save document Actual Results: A dialogue reading Error saving the document Untitled 1: General Error. General Input/Output error pops up. In the destination folder, a file named “lu[some chars].tmp” with 0 bytes is created. It is completely impossible to save any document - iow, Writer is unusable. Erasing the user profile or running LibreOffice in safe mode doesn't help., i.e. it is still impossible to save. Expected Results: Just save the document… Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Note 1: it is possible to save Calc, Impress or Draw documents on the 32 bit machine Note 2: saving from Writer works as expected on 64-bit machines using the same packages from Debian backports.
It appears that the bug has been fixed in Version | Version: 7.0.3.1 | Build ID: 00(Build:1) | CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 | Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE | Debian package version: 1:7.0.3-3_bpo10+1 | Calc: threaded available from Debian Buster backports – at least it is now possible to save files from Writer on a i386 (32 bit) system. I switch to bug to “fixed” for the time being, although I cannot find any note about the reason in the changelogs.
Setting to RESOLVED WORKSFORME since the commit fixing this issue hasn't been identified.
