Description: I am using a MacBook Pro with an M1 chip running Sonoma 14.1.2, and whenever I try to start dictating, LibreOffice Writer crashes within 3-5 dictated words (aka almost instantly). This has happened several times in a row, always within approximately 3-5 words of starting dictation. It is therefore impossible to use LibreOffice Writer for dictating documents. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press the FN key twice to start dictation 2. Start speaking dictation 3. LibreOffice Writer crashes nearly instantly Actual Results: LibreOffice Writer crashes, restarts, I attempt to start dictating again, and LibreOffice Writer crashes again. Expected Results: I expected the program NOT to crash. I would like to use the program and not have it crash. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I use a USB wireless microphone for dictation, in case that matters.
@Patrick, crash during dictation maybe related to work on bug 163764 and its tweak for bug 164564, a return of AOo i106901 when runing on 14.1.2?
I cannot reproduce this bug. Launched 25.2.0.3, opened a new Writer document, press Fn key twice, speak a few sentences, and the text appears in the document for me: Version: 25.2.0.3 (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: e1cf4a87eb02d755bce1a01209907ea5ddc8f069 CPU threads: 8; OS: macOS 15.3.1; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx Locale: en-CA (en_CA.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
(In reply to rainbowbookdragon from comment #0) > Description: > I am using a MacBook Pro with an M1 chip running Sonoma 14.1.2, Is macOS 14.1.2 correct? The latest Sonoma version is currently 14.7.4 so maybe this is a macOS bug that Apple already fixed?
I don't use MacOS, but I decided to test using Windows 11 and writer does not crash. Version: 25.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 894563ee0e4032019623a97c313af3d833863b1f CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 22631); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
rainbowbookdragon: it would be helpful to have a backtrace (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information#Windows:_How_to_get_a_backtrace).
No crash for me with Version: 24.8.3.2 (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 48a6bac9e7e268aeb4c3483fcf825c94556d9f92 CPU threads: 8; OS: macOS 15.4.1; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR Calc: threaded No crash either with: Version: 25.2.2.2 (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 7370d4be9e3cf6031a51beef54ff3bda878e3fac CPU threads: 8; OS: macOS 15.4.1; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR Calc: threaded
