Description: I have received a .docx file with a table and some text control elements within it. LibreOffice Writer freezes for me when I select one of the elements with a double click and I try to open the menu following menu: [Right click] - Character - Character The error occurs with the included LibreOffice 24.2.5.2 of Linux Mint 22 and version 24.8.0.3 of "LibreOffice-fresh.standard-x86_64.AppImage". Graphics acceleration on/off and safe mode don't make a difference. Hardware: AMD Ryzen 5 5600H with Radeon Graphics Linux Mint 22 x86-64 8 GB RAM Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new Writer document. 2. Click on Form - Content Controls and create either a Rich Text or Plain Text element. 3. The new element will already be preselected. 4. Make a right click on the text element and choose - Character - Character... 5. LibreOffice Writer will freeze Please also observe that LibreOffice will NOT freeze, when you deselect the element first and you proceed with step 4. LibreOffice will however also freeze, when you reselect the element by double clicking with the left mouse button first before right clicking to open the menu. It seems like LibreOffice Writer will freeze when the entire element is selected while the character menu is loading Actual Results: LibreOffice Writer will freeze Expected Results: The Character menu should open regardless of how/how much of the element is selected Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 24.2.5.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 420(Build:2) CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: de-DE (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Ubuntu package version: 4:24.2.5-0ubuntu0.24.04.2 Calc: threaded AppImage: Version: 24.8.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 0bdf1299c94fe897b119f97f3c613e9dca6be583 CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: de-DE (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
