Description mbstein 2022-04-13 15:56:40 UTC
Description:
I just installed LibreOffice 7.3.2.2 on my Windows 10 Pro system. And it instantly crashes if I open a Writer-associated file or create a new document in it.

Can't find out why though.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice Writer with an automatic creation of a 'new document', or attempt to open an associated file

Actual Results:
LibreOffice crashes almost straightaway

Expected Results:
Not crash


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

In save mode it doesn't crash for some reason. Again, not sure why

Thank you. I can't confirm it myself because I don't have the same device.
But it seems Skia related.

Tip for you - try use Force software Skia rendering option in the same Option dialog or just disable Skia at all while developers fix this problem

@Mbstein
You could try to update your videocard driver..

Please test with daily master Win-x86_64@tb77-TDF from https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html to confirm if the bug is gone with bug 146402.
Comment 12 Timur 2022-05-09 11:13:33 UTC
Or a duplicate of bug 145803?
