Hello Sahil Gautam,

I am unable to reproduce the bug in the current build
Version: 25.2.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: bbb074479178df812d175f709636b368952c2ce3
CPU threads: 22; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (10.0 build 26100); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

Can you confirm the build and operating system you are using.  Also can you test that you get the same result in safe mode
From the menu bar:
Choose Help - Restart in Safe Mode.

From a command line
Start LibreOffice from command line with --safe-mode option

I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once this has been completed and the results shared.

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today + with-help in autogen.input, I don't reproduce this.

Sahil: on what env are you? (Windows, macOS, Linux) If Linux, Gnome, KDE, other?
Do you use a build with help embedded or online help?
what language UI do you use?
If possible, it would be useful to have a backtrace.

- version and system info
Version: 25.2.2.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 520(Build:2)
CPU threads: 32; OS: Linux 6.12; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded


- crashes in safe mode as well, both from the ui and when started with --safe-mode

@Julien Nabet hi, how can i share the backtrace for libreoffice installed from the package manager? i have SAL_LOG="+INFO" and SAL_LOG_FILE=logfile set in my .zshrc on linux.

I am using Void Linux with Kernel: 6.12.28_1 with a tiling window manager (dwm). how can i know if the help is embedded or online? there is a `/usr/lib/libreoffice/help` directory with a bunch of files, pasting a few here

```
./es/sdraw.idxl/segments.gen
./es/sdraw.idxl/segments_3
./es/sdraw.idxl/_0.cfs
./es/sdatabase.idxl
./es/sdatabase.idxl/segments.gen
./es/sdatabase.idxl/segments_3
./es/sdatabase.idxl/_0.cfs
./es/swriter.db
./es/simpress.jar
./es/scalc.db
./es/simpress.idxl
./es/simpress.idxl/segments.gen
./es/simpress.idxl/segments_3
./es/simpress.idxl/_0.cfs
./es/sdatabase.tree

./es/simpress.db
./es/scalc.cfg

./es/err.html

See https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information#GNU/Linux:_How_to_get_a_backtrace

If when trying to go to Help, it opens a browser, it's online.
It makes me think, do you have a crash any time you click an help button or specifically in the situation of the bugtracker?

Perhaps it could be a dup of tdf#165980 (put in see also)?

Ok let's consider then it as a dup of tdf#165980 unless you can provide a bt showing otherwise
