Strace log

Clicking on Insert menu when draw object selected hangs Writer and uncontrolling increases CPU and RAM

Steps to reproduce:
  1) Open Writer
  2) Create a Draw objecto (a line, a cirle, whatever)
  3) With the object selected, click on Insert menu

The CPU will suddenly grow up to 100% and RAM will slowly grow until the system crashes.

  Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
  Libreoffice 3.6.0~rc4-0ubuntu3~ppa1~precise1

On pc Debian x86-64 with 3.6 sources updated today, I don't reproduce this behaviour.

Could you rename your LO directory profile (see http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile)?
Do you have lo-menubar package installed? If yes, could you uninstall it for the test?

If you still reproduce the problem, you should give a try to a newer version (3.6.2).
Comment 3 Pablo Ferrari 2012-10-24 22:18:09 UTC 
Renaming the LO directory profile doesn't soves the problem
Uninstalling lo-menubar does.

I'd like keep on using lo-menubar

¿What should I do?

¿How do I update to 3.6.2? I've got libreoffice ppa enabled but I haven't got an update.

Thanks

Michael: an idea of what we can propose here?
Comment 5 Petr Mladek 2012-10-25 10:44:09 UTC 
Pablo, could you please get valgrind log? It might help to locate the problem. The hints are at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport#How_to_get_a_valgrind_log_.28on_Linux.29

It is related to the LO Menubar extension => adding Ubuntu hacker into CC.

Anyway, it is related to 3rd-party extension and affecting only limited group of users => it should not block 3.6.3 release with many other useful fixes => lowering the severity a bit.

If it is a hang a gdb with debug symbols installed and: "thread apply all backtrace" would be the most useful thing I think.

All yours Bjoern :-)

lo-menubar is not LibreOffice, thus NOTOURBUG on this tracker. Note that lo-menubar is obsolete with quantal (which has a new implementation vendorpatched directly into LibreOffice) on Ubuntu.
This should be reported at Launchpad, if there are still issues on quantal. For precise this will be closed WONTFIX and lo-menubar is not part of the main repository.
