Created attachment 75905 [details] Docx file causing libreoffice writer to hang when attempts to load it Opening particular docx files causes my Libreoffice Writer to hang. The calling process returns immediately, any existing Libreoffice processes (not just Writer) hang. An example document causing this on my system is attached - this document opens correctly in MS Word (two-page document). System is Fedora 17 Linux, LibreOffice 3.5.6.2 Steps to reproduce (every time): 1. In a terminal, type `ooffice <document>` Actual results: Process returns immediately, document does not open, existing other LibreOffice windows hang and must be killed. Expected results: Document opens, existing windows do not hang. This may be a duplicate of #59883, but I can't find the test document for that bug (link broken) so I thought better to file a separate one since it's against a different version and OS. It appears not to be a duplicate of #61343 because I can correctly open the given test document for that bug.

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources, I don't reproduce the crash. Ben: Could you give a try a newer version? Last 3.6.X version is 3.6.5 and 4.0.0 has been released. You must also know there won't be any new official 3.5.X version. (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan)
Upgraded to 4.0.0, I can confirm that it works correctly in this version. Sorry, the Fedora repository is still on 3.5.X so I hadn't realised there was a newer version.
Thank you Ben for your feedback, I put WFM
