Simplified sample

Seems to be a general Problem with all .csv

Crash might be related to settings in csv open dialog. With 3.6.0.1 I was able to open the document as long a setting was NOT fixed width, but after I had changed to "fixed width" all further attempts to open the document failed.

With this knowledge I now also reproduce the crash in master, but still not in 3.6.0.0.beta3

Already [Reproducible] with Server Installation of  "LibreOffice 3.6.0.1 rc  German UI/Locale [Build-ID: 73f9fb6] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) 

Still was ok  with
- Server Installation of  "LibreOffice 3.6.0.0.beta2  German UI/Locale [Build-ID: f010139] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)  
- Server installation of Master "LOdev 3.6.0alpha0+  – WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) ENGLISH UI [Build ID: a502549]" (tinderbox: Win-x86@6-fast, pull time 2012-05-31 07:33:55)

This problem might affect many users.

No crash for me with LO 3.6.0.4 (Build ID: 932b512) under Ubuntu 11.10 x86-64, event with fixed width.

Best regards. JBF

No crash for me with "Simplified sample" (attachment 65002 [details]) and LibO 3.6.0.4 (Build ID: 932b512, German langpack installed) under MacOS X 10.6.8, even when pre-selection "Fixed Width".

→ Windows only?

Reproducible for me under Win7 64 bit > New and regression from 3.5.x

No crash if sample file is opened from Calc instead of Start Center page.

MacoS X log file created on the crash

Sorry -- I *can* reproduce it on MacOS X, too! It just needs a second run ...

For me, it works as following:
0. download attached sample document
1. Start LibO
   > LibO Start Center appears
2. Menu 'File -> Open -> Browse for sample document -> <open>
   (for me, it is NOT necessary to pre-select the file type
    "Spreadsheet", but this may be a Mac/Wind difference)
3. In the dialog window "Text import" which appears now,
   select "Fixed width" and click OK
   > File opens without problems.
4. Close file.
5. Repeat step 1
6. Repeat step 2.
   > But in the moment when the dialog window "Text import" should appear,
   LibO crashes.
From now on, step 5-6 is 100% reproducible: on every attempt to open the file LibO crashes.

The crash obviously appears when drawing the dialog window (cf. stack trace in log file). The crash seems related to the fact that this time (step 6) "Fixed width" should be pre-selected in the dialog window: when I reset my user profile, LibO changes its behaviour back to step 1-3 (the file opens again), but from the next time on I get step 5-6 again (crash when the dialog window should open).


Therefore, REPRODUCIBLE on MacOS 10.6.8 (Intel) both with
* LibreOffice 3.6.0.4 (Build ID: 932b512), German langpack installed;
* LOdev 3.7.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: c549e1e, Build date: 2012-07-25, file: master~2012-07-25_02.21.07_LibO-Dev_3.7.0.0.alpha0_MacOS_x86_install_en-US.dmg)

Therefore, NOT Windows only.

Platform "All" due to comment #7 -- reproducible on Windows and MacOS, even if not reproducible on Linux (comment #3).

But maybe the bug is also reproducible on Linux, and it is just a second run what is missing, just like for me (cf. comment #7)?

@all: 
Thank you for your tests

@Roman:
I had to select document "Spreadsheet" because of some broken profile issue my 3.6.0.4 opened .csv with Writer by default.

Is there a workaround for this bug? At this time I can't open any csv files. Do I need to downgrade to 3.5.x?

You can download LibreOffice 3.6.1.1 from
  http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/
This is a release candidate, of course, but it includes the fix for this bug and many other fixes, and IMHO in general works at least as well as 3.6.0.4 (the release version you probably use).

If you don't want to upgrade to 3.6.1rc you could edit the file registrymodifications.xcu in your user profile and locate the line

<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Calc/Dialogs/CSVImport"><prop oor:name="FixedWidth" oor:op="fuse"><value>true</value></prop></item>

and change the value true to false. Be careful to not alter the file in any other way, make a backup copy first.

Where to find the user profile depends on your system, on Linux it should be in ~/.config/libreoffice/3/user/

Updating to the pre-release software worked great. Thanks all!
