Created attachment 196744 [details] Screenshots This bug was filed from the crash reporting server and is br-9727d53b-9ccd-4e18-b158-03ab0dad8714. ========================================= LO Problems with hidden text after update ========================================= Hello, I got a new PC and I used this opportunity to make a clean Win 10 and LO 24.2.5.2 installation. Previously I used LO 7.0.3.1. Now I have problems with hidden text, I have hundreds of documents with questions and hidden answers just after that. Sometimes the answer is just a word/value inline after the question. Sometimes the answer is in a frame with hidden text inside. Sometimes the answer is a scanned image anchored into such a frame. In LO 7.0.3.1 the scanned image disappeared with the text when "toggling formatting marks" (i modified the view options so that this icon is basically toggling hidden on/off) or when disabling hidden text in the print dialog. In LO 24.2.5.2 only the hidden text disappears but not the scanned images anchored into that. Seems problem does not exist if anchored to 2nd line in frame. (desktop, Elite, ProBook) Is this intended change/behavior? If yes, how can I make images/graphics hidden? Another problem: hidden text is not printed anymore, even if selected in the print dialog. This is maybe only for hidden text in frames because the hidden "3." in the headline is printed. (desktop, Elite, not on ProBook!?) Often - but not always - LO crashes when toggling formatting marks on/off while such a scanned image is selected. (desktop, Elite, ProBook) All this worked fine for many years I used 7.0.3.1. Now I made a big jump to 24.2.5.2 and problems appeared. Upgraded to 24.8.1.2 but it did not solve the problems. Same/similar behavior exists on my 2 laptops (Elite, ProBook) where I upgraded from LO 7.0.3.1 to 24.2.5.2 (also Win 10). Also not all docs crash when toggling formatting marks while an image is selected. 03_3P_Leistung_AB.odt does not crash; writer_with_hidden_text.odt crashes. If I can help to diagnose let me know. Regards Jan

1 bugtracker per pb so here let's focus on the crash. I don't reproduce the crash on pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today or with LO Debian package 24.8.2.1 So you've got to wait for someone to confirm this or if a dev has an idea taking a look at the crash bt. (please don't send me private email)

Hello LO-Team, just to let you know: the annoying thing is not the crash itself (I used the crash and its prompt just as a trigger to contribute to improvement of LO). The annoying thing for me is that the display and printing of hidden text (especially of graphics anchored into a frame with hidden text) is not working anymore. It is not 100% the same on 3 Windows PCs I installed. I have the feeling that there is less trouble if I use the old AppData/Roming/LibreOffice directory /but I wanted to have a clean install) and there is more trouble with old documents created in LO 7.x. I have still my old PC with LO 7.x on it and I wanted to make a screencast on this and the new PC with LO 24.x which would show problem maybe better than textual explanation. But I did not have time anymore beore vacation, I return January 7th. PS: The crash with hidden graphics selected exists already in version 7.x but there is an easy workaraoud: just have nothing selected when toggling/printing. The "hidden problem" in 24.x I did not find a workaround - exept going back to LO 7.x Thanks an regards Jan
