Description scruffy-temp 2021-10-05 05:15:29 UTC
Description:
Until yesterday, I ran v7.1.5 without any problem.  I upgraded to v7.1.6, and it couldn't open files.  (I submitted a bug report.)  I downloaded v7.2.1, and it worked fine.  Today, upon opening 2 Writer files, the computer locked up.  (One was regular text, and the other contained a large table.)  I had to do a hard shutdown via the power key, to escape.  I'd left the modem on while booting the 1st time, but turned it off for the 2nd time - and, that seemed to fix the lockup problem.  Both files were from a partition encrypted with TrueCrypt, and accessed via VeraCrypt, in an external hard drive.  The computer is a Dell Latitude laptop with 4 GB RAM, running Windows 10 Pro, connecting to internet via cable modem.  I didn't try to reproduce this error, because of the risk of damage to the filing system, when the external drive gets crashed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot the computer with modem on.
2.Click 2 files to open them with Writer.
3.

Actual Results:
I didn't try to reproduce this error, because of the risk of damage to the filing system, when the external drive gets crashed.  Because it's Windows, I don't have a proper backup for the drive.

Expected Results:
It shouldn't have locked up.


Reproducible: Didn't try

We saw your bug 144887

But 7.2.1 does not have the compiler build fix for bug 144598 but it will run with Skia rendering disabled.

7.2.2 should be released this week, or wait for a 7.1.7 build & release. 

You can retest then (but detach from your external encrypted volume for safety, copy the files to the os Disk).

Or, roll back to 7.1.5

Please write if 7.2.2 is working. If no, if no-skia is working, Tools Options View Skia off.
