Latest LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 and also latest OOo do always crash in few seconds after opening the preferences dialog on OS X 10.7.4 The same problem does not reproduce on NeoOffice 3.2.1 patch 6. Crash dump: http://pastebin.com/BJVtsKXY
I found what causes this, Window Magnet application. Still this looks like a bug in LO, and the Window Magnet is not crashing. Clearly this is a Accessibility related issue.
I reduce just a little the importance since there's an easy workaround. + I put it as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 47368 ***
Created attachment 63847 [details] Crash dump for bug 51712 (In reply to comment #0) > Crash dump: http://pastebin.com/BJVtsKXY I am not sure how long pastebin will hold the data, therefore I add the crash dump as an attachment directly to this report
Mac Accessibility Related Bugs Survey Results --------------------------------------------- This bug is very very similar to bug 52147 and bug 54282, which have been both fixed by Michael Meek’s patch for bug 47368: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=3234b715b5a6d13ee673b41066eb565706be5ec9 Therefore it is very probable that this bug has been fixed by that commit, too. This is also indicated by the fact that the crash dump attached to the present bug contains many (recursive) references to hitTestRunner(); there was a problem with endless (?) recursion of this function which should have been fixed by the commit cited above. This means in turn that this bug is correctly marked as a duplicate of bug 47368, which was fixed by the commit cited above. This fix will appear in LibreOffice 3.6.2 and 3.7.0.
@Sorin Sbarnea: It would be very helpful if you could test if you can still reproduce this crash with “Window Magnet” and the upcoming LibreOffice 3.6.2; in a few days, a first release candidate will be available at http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/ Or, if you are more adventurous, you can use the current daily build of LibreOffice 3.6; it is available at http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/MacOSX-Intel@3-OSX_10.6.0-gcc_4.0.1/libreoffice-3-6/current/ (Please note that the daily build should not be used for productive work.) If you can NOT reproduce the crash with any of these versions, you could leave a short note about that result in the present bug report. But IF you still CAN reproduce the same (!) crash with any of these versions, please set the Status of this bug report to REOPENED, and try to describe in as much detail as possible what exactly is necessary to get the crash -- step by step, even mouse click by mouse click. Thank you very very much in advance!
Not reproducible on Mac OSX 10.8.1 with LO daily build Version 3.7.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: 4deb9d4)
