I currently successfully use version 7.0.6. In May, I upgraded to 7.1 and it installed perfectly, but every time I try to open a file (either from the recent document window OR from my documents folder), LO crashes. I reverted back and every worked fine for 4 months with 7.0. Today I installed 7.2.4, hoping for a fix, but the same thing happens. I can create new documents, but if I try to open an existing Writer or Impress file LO crashes. I clicked on file Bug report but I don't think anything happened.
Thanks for the report This sounds like an user profile corruption. Please reset the profile https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile
My previous problem was with 7.2.0.4. Changed the name of the /USER folder to /USER-old, I also downloaded 7.2.1-- And it seems to be working fine. I don't know which change was responsible for the success, but thank you for the help.
It just happens, not too frequent but it does. So when you report via https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/enter_bug.cgi you are asked for User Profile Reset. I close this (we don't know what caused the bug and it is not investigated without reproducible steps).
