no crash in 7.2 or 7.3

I bisected this one in win64-7.4 bisect repo and got the SHA

Comment 8 Caolán McNamara 2022-05-12 19:10:33 UTC
The crash is under windows, but the bisect points to code which isn't built under windows so there might be some variability to this.

I'm already seeing this in 7.2 (so BT stack(, I'm attempted a bibisect, but took the wrong turn somewhere..

is already crashing

Yup. And a non-symbol backtrace from an alpha build doesn't really help. I'll see, if I can update my Win symbol build this WE and if the STR still apply, we can get a BT or maybe even a fix.

If someone wants to re-bibiset, just don't miss the previous attempts.

It seldomly happens that stuff breaks, is fixed and the broken again. That last commit is Writer code, so looks more promising. It might be closer to the real bug, but in the end a clear bt might help more, if bisecting results are varying.

> Maybe it's about running Qt?

I don't follow. From all comments I got, this is really Windows-only. At least it seems nobody has tried yet to repo on Linux. Following the STR with:

1. so -env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/tdf#148913 --writer
2. Activated the sidebar page tab
3. Close the document -> Go back to Start Center
4. Open attachment 159685 [details]

=> no crash

That is a very heavily patched master with tons of VCL infrastructure patches to eventually fix tdf#141578 in the long run. IMHO none of this should affect this bug.
Comment 14 Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) 2022-07-18 08:30:51 UTC
With the steps:

$ rm -rf instdir/user/
$ instdir/program/soffice --safe-mode
* Continue in Safe mode
* Open new Writer document, display the sidebar, close the document
* Open the example file from Start Center
-> crash

I can reproduce it in current win-bibisect-75 master:

Usage of VclPtr<SfxInfoBarWindow> wasn't thread-safe
on Windows, resulting random crashing during loading big
documents.
