Description: If I select Language/for all text (but not "for paragraph" or "selection") LO gives the spinning wheel and crashes. Repeatedly. Also, LO will sometimes also not select the language when attempting a simple language check. I've already tried resetting to the default language under "Preferences". No change. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open odt file 2. Select Tools/Language/for all text/English (USA) 3. Spinning wheel, Mac reports crash under Force Quit/restart Actual Results: Sequentially: Crash, spinning wheel, restart LO, request to restore document, changes (just before the crash) aren't saved. Expected Results: It should have loaded the requested dictionary (either standard English, German or user-created technical dictionaries). When I try tools/spelling, LO refuses to upload any language and no corrections are implemented. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: It doesn't crash when I select Tools/Language/For Selection (or For Paragraph). But is also doesn't check the spelling. "resetting UserProfile"? I have no such profile. I just start the program.
Please test in safe mode, Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode
This should be resolved in 7.5.5. Can you please update and let us know if that's the case? See bug 155939 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 155939 ***
UPDATE 31. Juli 2023: I've restarted the Mac in safe mode, from an "administrator" account on the same computer (for my own work, I use a non-admin account) I started LO in the admin account, and selected 'language/for all text' and there was no crash. But then I switched to the regular user account, and the crashing continued.
Then, please test with a clean profile, Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode, in your user.

Have you updated to version 7.5.5? https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/ If so, and you still can see the crash, please paste here the information copied from LibreOffice > About.
As Stéphane indicated, could you upgrade to LO 7.5.5 ? Indeed, it might be already fixed with patch for tdf#155939 and in this case, this bugtracker would be a duplicate.
