This bug was filed from the crash reporting server and is br-000d44f7-af92-455b-9a4a-522ef9868a8a. ========================================= BACKGROUND Writing a story with a lot of foreign names that I did not want in my general user dictionary, I created a new exceptions dictionary. Added three words to it manually. Added a couple of words by right-clicking the underlined word and pointing to Add to Dictionary > xxxx.dic STEPS TO REPRODUCE Spellcheck document with errors using F7 With unknown word selected, click the down arrow on Add to Dictionary button Select xxxx.dic, move on to next word Click the down arrow on Add to Dictionary button Writer crashes. In my tests, this happened after the first add and then always subsequently. The new dictionary is fine: standard text file, I can edit it in Options.
Version 24.2.5.2
*** Bug 162554 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Continues in 24.8.2.1 To clarify: the first addition to 'Add to dictionary' succeeds. After that, simply clicking 'Add to dictionary' can crash LO entirely, though I have sometimes noted that it is only the third time that crashes. Crash occurs whether you add to Standard.dic or custom dictionary. Workaround: If second Add to Dictionary is required, close the Spelling Check dialog and open it again (F7). or only add by right-clicking the squiggly line in the main window. Impact I am currently writing a novel with a lot of foreign words, so this issue occurs frequently.

You probably don't see an arrow because you didn't create an additional user dictionary. I don't know whether that is a necessary step to cause the crash. I do not reproduce the problem in LO 7.6.7.2
