Description Graham Stratford 2022-07-04 13:09:11 UTC
Description:
I created a document with custom dimensions (5.5" x 8.5", or half a US letter-sized sheet). Then I pasted in the text (with a couple of small images) for our church program.

If I drag the scroll bar up and down, the program pauses and then disappears, usually on the very first scroll down.

This also occurs if this document is opened, not only when the text is pasted.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open document
2. Scroll down using scroll bar. If it doesn't happen immediately, scroll up
3. Pause and then crash

Actual Results:
LibreOffice Writer crashes and the window vanishes.

Expected Results:
Scroll down the document


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Hi Graham, thanks for reporting the issue.

I am unable to reproduce the bug using the following versions:

Version: 7.2.5.2 / LibreOffice Community

CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.13; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
Locale: pt-BR (pt_BR.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Version: 7.3.3.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 30(Build:2)
CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.13; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
Locale: pt-BR (pt_BR.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Ubuntu package version: 1:7.3.3~rc2-0ubuntu0.21.10.1~lo1
Calc: threaded

Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: d2dfc0c4286057f5d8dda178817de3503c3a7d29

Scrolling up and down with the scrollbar works fine.

Maybe you could give it a try with LO 7.3.4

Thank you for reporting the bug.
it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.

Just created an account here because I have the same problem.

Standard document (DIN A4), text only.
Number of pages does not matter
Amount of text does not matter
Existing tables and/or graphics are irrelevant

Writer crashes when scrolling. Sometimes immediately, sometimes only after some scrolling back and forth. When reopening the document without editing anything, it seems to take a little longer before it crashes.
This problem existed for at least 4 previous versions.

Version must correspond to the earliest one as indicated.
Comment 6 Julien Nabet 2022-07-26 09:37:26 UTC
Graham: do you use any LO extensions? If yes could you disable them for a test?

Also in addition to upgrade to 7.3.5, could you try https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps#Corrupted_user_profile ?
Comment 7 Timur 2022-09-08 08:44:24 UTC
In bug 149527 it was determined that crash happens with Skia only and not in safe mode. 
Can you please confirm that there is no crash if Skia is turned off in Options-View, so that we mark this a duplicate?

(You both say you did LO user profile reset/rename/delete, which is the first test you may make. Another one is to test with newer LO).
I also don't reproduce, so if you don't respond, we can only close.
Comment 8 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-01-17 19:09:28 UTC
I tested on Windows and couldn't reproduce:

    Version: 7.2.7.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
    Build ID: 8d71d29d553c0f7dcbfa38fbfda25ee34cce99a2
    CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
    Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR); UI: en-US

For the record, Michael in comment 4 had reported version 7.3.3.2 to be affected.
