SaveAs-Problem Backtrace

Operating System:
Debian 4.1.2-25 lenny2

Kernel-Version:
Linux 2.6.26-1-686

KDE-Version:
3.5.10

LibreOffice-Version:
LibreOffice 3.3.0 
OOO330m18 (Build:4)

Summary:

LibreOffice freezes when I want to save a document about the "save as..."-dialog.

Also LibreOffice freezes when I want to export a document about the "Export directly as PDF"-dialog.

This actions result in a permanent LibreOffice freeze. I can only quit LibreOffice by killing the process in the console. 

I have added two backtraces. Once for the problem with the "save as.."-dialog and the other backtrace is about the "Export directly as PDF" problem.

This is in KDE3, right?  Can you please provide us with a strace too?

Hi,

I have created two strace-files for the "saveas" and "pdf" -problem. 

To your question:
Yes, this is KDE3.

Matthias

As a workaround you can disable KDE3 file dialogs in Options->General->Use LibreOffice dialogs.

Fixed in master.

I have the same problem with 3.3.2. Running on Fedora 14 kernel 2.6.38, under ratpoison.

The same workaround 'use libreoffice dialogs' fixes the problem.

strace log attached.

cheers
