Comment 3 DeJQit 2013-07-21 13:59:03 UTC
This bug occurs because of the use of the package "lo-menubar".
I'm trying to create a text box (on the drawing toolbar), then use the following sequence of menu "Insert" -> "Fields" -> "Date".
Without the use of the package "lo-menubar" (in the original program), this menu item is disabled. Otherwise, the menu is active and causes the program to crash.

Hi DeJQit, please answer comment 1 & also inform your OS.

From what source you installed LO?

My OS version is "Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS", i386, Linux version: 3.2.0-50-generic-pae
LO version is 3.5.7.2 ID build: 350m1(Build:2), installed from apt repository.

I can confirm that we can't insert Fields inside Text box (all options greyed) using LO 3.6.7.2 (Ubuntu 12.04 32bit). But I can't confirm crash since I don't use 'lo-menubar' (Unity disabled).
Comment 7 ign_christian 2013-07-23 03:37:23 UTC
I also can confirm that features not available on LO 4.0.4.2 (Win7 32bit). Perhaps that crash related to unavailability of that features.

@DeJQit, anyway your LO version is too old & unsupported anymore. You could use newer version from LibreOffice PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa
Comment 8 tommy27 2013-08-18 07:16:53 UTC
@DeJQit
as already suggested upgrade to a newer stable LibO release (4.0.4 is out).
do you still reproduce the issue? in the meantime I change status to NEEDINFO.
Comment 9 DeJQit 2013-08-18 08:12:42 UTC
Now I upgrade LO to version 4.1.0.4 from the ppa. Installing the package lo-menubar fails due to dependencies.
So, I can't install package and check bug!

Perhaps these posts could help you:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2113397

In my opinion, it's better not using lo-menubar (at least in 12.04).
