Problem description: I have a bunch of ODTs created with 3.3.x. Most of them contain a frame on the first page (heavily customized - colored with white border). In 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 all of these files crashed Writer. Using 3.4.3 all but one do not crash writer, but the frame's border is gone - i have to redefine it I have this one file which still crashes writer, i cam send it to whoever thinks it might be useful - it's just 750kb Steps to reproduce: 1. Load a odt file 2. File loaded having a strange looking frame (no border) 3. Crash after a couple of seconds Current behavior: Expected behavior: Platform: debian sid - libreoffice 3.4.3 OOO340m1 (Build 302)
We should not mix too many problems together. Let's leave this bug for the crash. Please, attach the file that causes the crash. 750kB are fine. The limit is 3GB. Also please try to get backtrace from the crash, see http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport#How_to_get_backtrace_.28on_Linux.29 Finally, open separate bug for the missing frame's border and attache a test file there. BTW: I reduce the severity. It seems to happen with only a particular document => it can't block the whole release.

Hi Petr I will send the odt file causing the crash by email (it's not for the public domain) Cheers Spiros
Thanks for the document. Hmm, I am unable to reproduce the crash. I tested it on two machines. I wonder if you have other fonts or extensions installed, or so. Unfortunately, the backtrace is not much useful without debug information. I see that you have the binaries under /usr/lib/libreoffice => it is not the official build from http://www.documentfoundation.org/ What Linux distro are you using? Could you please install debuginfo packages and get a better backtrace?
Hi Petr I have installed all relevant dbg packages and you can find attached the results of gdb and valgrind I am running aptosid xfce (debian sid) I do have a rather big collection of fonts installed, but that did not seem to be a problem till recently. The extensions i have installed are: Canadian English dictionary Greek dictionary PDF import Thank you for your time Cheers Spiros

Thanks for the last gdb and valgring logs. They might give us some pointers. I add some developers into CC who might be interested into looking at it.
I'd need to see a reproducer document. It looks a little like a previous bug where we were casting a SdrObject in a header to another type which was unrelated entirely in order to do some actually fairly useless test on it.
BTW, this document demonstrates bug 42570 too Bug 42570 - EDITING: Frame Border Gone under 3.4.3 https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42570 Just a reminder...
Well, the immediate crash reported in gdb would be fixed by http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=3524727db0f3cfecf3a47046795c527808c10c3e specifically by the hunk of sw/source/core/text/txtfrm.cxx
I can't reproduce this in 3-4, but from the bt I'm fairly sure the immediate crash would be fixed by backporting the fix mentioned from master. I'll ask on the list if we want this backported.
should be good in 3.5, no enthusiasm for backporting to 3.4.X apparently
