Created attachment 54027 [details] File that causes the crash. Attempting to open the attached docx-file causes the Writer to crash at startup. Version in use is LibreOffice 3.4.2 OOO340m1 (Build:203)
I cannot confirm this: both -- LibreOffice 3.4.4 with German langpack -- LibO-dev 3.5.0 Build ID: 549f928-b211287-090bcba-45cf606 build date: 2011-12-01 both running on MacOS X 10.6.8 German open the DOCX document without crashing etc. Two ideas: -- maybe the problem was fixed in LibreOffice 3.4.3/3.4.4? -- maybe this bugs depends on the operating system? @ Tero Miettinen: -- Could you please test if the bug is still present for you with LibreOffice 3.4.4? -- Which Operating System do you use? If Windows, which version? PS: But there is another issue: at least with the current master, the formulas look rather strange ... But this issue should get reported separately.
I updated to LibreOffice 3.4.4 OOO340m1 (Build:402) Same problem still exists. I'm running 64-bit Windows 7.
@ Tero Miettinen: Thanks for trying LibreOffice 3.4.4! So it looks like this is an operating-system dependent bug. I can confirm this, too: PARTIALLY REPRODUCIBLE with LibreOffice 3.4.4 with German langpack installed, running on Windows XP Version 5.1 German (Build 2600.xpsp ... Service Pack 3): When I open the sample DOCX file with LibreOffice 3.4.4 on Win XP, LibreOffice doesn’t crash, BUT it only shows 5 lines of text -- all the formulas and all text after the first formula are gone! So, no crash for me, but at least a very substantial loss of data. I will attach a screenshot to show this result, and I will also attach screenshots which show how the documents looks like in LibreOffice running on MacOS X.

Still [Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.4.4 - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO340m1 (Build:402)]" and [Reproducible] with Server installation of Master "LibO-dev 3.5.0 – WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) ENGLISH UI [Build ID: 130028f-b211287-090bcba-45cf606-05891e7]" Win-x86@9-Voreppe - 111130) I will do some futher research later.
After further research, I found that there is alredy Bug 36982 -- "Writer ignores text after Equation in docx" with some discussion. Looking at the sample file, I conclude that it is the same bug -- most times, on Windows the contents of the file after (and including) the first formula get ignored, and comment #11 for Bug 36982 already mentions the crash that occurs under some circumstances. Therefore marking this bug as a duplicate of Bug 36982. @Rainer Bielefeld: sorry for making work for you! I should have noticed the duplication earlier, but yesterday I did not find out about Bug 36982. But we still have to figure out: -- when the contents of the DOCX file after (and including) the first formula get ignored -- and when the crash mentioned by Tero Miettinen occurs. Both problems happen on Windows only, of course ... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 36982 ***
Just some hint: Bug 36982 should be fixed now by http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/patch/?id=b68f06287d34833a59841b8000641a02d0994eb8 This patch will appear in LibO 3.5.2 and 3.4.6. We should check if the patch also fixes the iussue reported in the present bug report (I would expect so). If it doesn’t fix the issue reported in the present bug report, we need to reopen this bug.
