crash example 1

I collected quit a lot docx file to follow the development of the LO OOXML "skills"...

But with the version 25.08.4 it is really bad.

LO 25.08 crashes on opening almost all docx files - more than 90% I would say...

I attach some random examples.

Hello Pieter,
Thanks for reporting this issue.
Do you use the tabbed notebookbar ? then, it's a duplicated of bug 168028.
In order to fix it, I would recommend to open LibreOffice in safe mode and clean the user profile, see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile
Comment 6 pieter kristensen 2025-08-20 19:57:22 UTC 
I already refreshed my user profile but that didn't do the trick. I don't use the tabed notebook bar but the notebookbar with no tabs.

When I was testing today I was under the impression too that with the old fashioned bar the problem is not so bad.
