Description BrendaEM 2023-05-15 22:09:03 UTC
Description:
Writer crashes often. I thought that either pasting or scrolling has something to do with it--but they might be red-herrings.

Steps to Reproduce:
I am unsure what is causing the crash.

Actual Results:
LibreOffice crashes

Expected Results:
It would keep going.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Comment 1 m_a_riosv 2023-05-15 22:46:19 UTC
Please test with a clean profile, Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode
Comment 2 BrendaEM 2023-05-16 19:03:26 UTC
Went to help, initiated safe mode, and also wiped out existing profile.

Crashed all the same. Scrolling may to be involved.
Comment 3 m_a_riosv 2023-05-16 22:52:59 UTC
Please test disabling Skia
Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice/View
Comment 4 Julien Nabet 2023-05-21 08:00:10 UTC
About Skia, you'll find more info here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps#Graphics-related_issues_(_Skia_).
Comment 5 BrendaEM 2023-07-18 19:41:34 UTC
Libreoffice hangs at the start too for nearly a minute. Can not this be fixed?

Argh, if possible providing a backtrace by following https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information#Windows:_How_to_get_a_backtrace may help.
Comment 7 BrendaEM 2023-07-18 22:31:09 UTC
Yikes!

That's a lot of effort to verify a bug.

Did we even need OpenGL acceleration in a desktop application?

BTW, like many Windows laptop owners who actually use their laptop from battery, I do not use GPU acceleration on desktop applications.

Comment 9 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-07-19 08:46:24 UTC
Brenda, thanks for taking the time to report this issue.
However, to be able to help out when others can't reproduce the bug, we'll need more information.
If collecting a backtrace is too much, I'll try to be more specific about other things you can try and information you can give us:

0. As I understand it, there's two issues: LO hangs at the beginning for a minute, and then crashes randomly and often while using it. Correct?
1. Download and install version 7.5.5, listed at the bottom of the download page: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/ -> do the hang + crash still occur?
2. If you can reach it before it crashes, paste again here the information copied with the button in Help > About LibreOffice
3. Try to make note of which actions trigger the crash
4. Do you get a crash report dialog after the crash? If so, send a crash report and share the link with us.
Comment 10 Julien Nabet 2023-07-19 09:49:48 UTC
2 additional things to what Stéphane indicated is the fonts:
1) does it hang/crash with a specific file (an odt, docx, ... file ) or even with a brand new file?
2) some specific fonts may trigger some problem.
So if you installed specific ones, you can disable them temporarily to give it a try.
