Description bibidiboom 2025-08-16 20:45:37 UTC
Description:
After installing the latest version from the Pre-releases server for Windows, whenever I open a DOCX file from the Recent Documents list, Libreoffice crashes. This happens after I switch the UI to Tabbed instead of the Standard Toolbar UI. On Standard Toolbar UI or when creating a document anew the program doesn't crash. I have tried resetting the software in Safe Mode, but it makes no difference and still crashes whenever I do as above.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install LibreOffice 25.8.0.4 from the Pre-releases server
2. Open a random DOCX document or one stored in the Recent Documents list within Libreoffice
3. Change the User Interface from Standard Toolbar to Tabbed and "Apply to All"

Actual Results:
While the change to Tabbed UI works as expected when I have not opened any document, i.e. with an empty document, repeating the same procedure with an actual DOCX file open in Libreoffice will crash the program. 

Expected Results:
No crash when using Tabbed as default UI.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

FYI the crashes only started happening on two different computers right after I upgraded my stable LibreOffice 25.2 to 25.8, which actually hasn't been officially released yet. No such issue with 25.2.
