This bug was filed from the crash reporting server and is br-da19fc10-139b-4cae-92fd-08b3209a5faa. ========================================= I had 2 documents open, editing both, typing, changing background color, fill down, copy, paste, resize width... Using the 3-button mouse I dragged text from a terminal, and pasted using the middle-mouse button. Pasted to cells: AB5, AC5, AB4, AC4, AB3, and this time AC3 it crashed. The text I pasted was 00:90:c2:ce:1b:28 After recovering the documents, I tried it again, and could not reproduce the error. I also tried pasting just above and below the text entry rectangle, thinking maybe I missed. Not sure.

You can upgrade to 7.3.7 or try last 7.4.2 LO version (by using packages from the repositories of your Linux distrib). I mean perhaps the bug is already fixed.
The newest package for my older Debian distribution is 5.2.7.2 So it was recommended by Raal I use the AppImage container with libraries included to get v7 to fix another bug, 151138. Since the newest version at https://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com/stable-2/ is this one... I guess I'll go looking for more download links. Is AppImage not being maintained fast enough? Thank you
I don't use AppImage so can't tell. Now you can mix different repos in Debian to install LO from testing repo on a stable Debian but I must recognize if libs versions are well taken into account. Remark: I just wonder why using an old Debian. Either you use your machine as a server and needs only security patches and in this case, no need to have an Office suite, or it's not a server and you can upgrade to Debian testing, it's what I use daily, it's a good compromise between stability and recent versions of softs.
Upgrading the Operating System means migrating 4 dozen custom programs that break compatibility, and will require many hours to rewrite or integrate with newer libraries. Some just won't work. I recently made the move to 64-bit and after spending a month fixing things, I am still finding programs I don't use as often, that are broken and won't work without rewriting the code. Sometimes it is easier to stick with something that works and is familiar, rather than risk upgrading and finding out "4 steps forward, 2 steps backward" is always true.
Ok your choice, I can't help here, uncc myself.
I'm sorry, I thought I was reporting a crash in the most current version at the AppImage link. I finally found a link to newer LibO versions at https://appimage.sys42.eu/ but have found they require a newer library of libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.34' not found so the concept of AppImage including all necessary libraries has apparently been broken. I'll go away now until I can upgrade my OS and get all my legacy programs working on it.
Thanks for the report! There should be a few more options to update: First, try to install the latest version directly from deb files by downloading from the LibreOffice website: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/ If that doesn't work because of missing libraries, you can try with flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/org.libreoffice.LibreOffice Let us know how you go. However, I will pre-emptively close this as "resolved - insufficient data" as you haven't been able to consistently reproduce the issue with precise steps, and you might not be able to test further for a while. Hope that makes sense. Please set back to "unconfirmed" if you witness it again in an updated version. (seeing the crash signature, it does seem quite elusive... but in any case, it's good to have a report attached to it!) Thank you!
