Problem description: Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a new empty document 2. Insert any graphic [Insert | Picture | from file] 3. Right click on Graphic; choose Wrap | Edit contour Current behavior: 1. Using any method EXCEPT AutoContour, establish a contour. 2. At the completion of establishing the contour, Writer simply disappears. 3. When restarting Writer, the usual file recovery dialog is presented, and the empty file is restored. The (also empty) Contour Editor window is also restored. Expected behavior: The way it worked in 3.6, and the way it still works if the AutoContour option is selected when the Contour Editor is used. Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 4.0.2.2 release
Additional Notes on Bug in Contour Editor: I forgot to mention that the type of graphic file (e.g. jpg, png) doesn't seem to make any difference. The system I am using this on is 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS) with 8G of RAM.
Additional Notes on Bug in Contour Editor: I completely removed all traces of LibreOffice from my machine and did a fresh install of "Version 4.0.3.3 (Build ID: 0eaa50a932c8f2199a615e1eb30f7ac74279539)". The contour edit bug continues exactly as I described in the earlier two posts.
Additional Notes on Bug in Contour Editor: Only after my current installation of Writer (Version 4.0.3.3 (Build ID: 0eaa50a932c8f2199a615e1eb30f7ac74279539) on 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04LTS did I stumble on bug #62030 which relates to the Pipette selection in the contour editor. I was unable to reproduce the symptoms reported there, but suspect whoever looks at either of these might want to look at both.
Thank you, Frank, for this bug report and your subsequent updates. I see the same problem in master commit 6faa622, pulled 2013-04-19, configured as ... --enable-option-checking=fatal --enable-dbgutil --enable-crashdump --without-system-postgresql --without-myspell-dicts --without-help --with-extra-buildid built and running on ubuntu-natty (11.04) 32-bit ... $ uname -a Linux cougar-natty 2.6.38-16-generic #67-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 6 18:00:43 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux $ gcc --version gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu4) 4.5.2 Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

(1) /path/to/soffice --norestore --writer. Program displays empty Writer document "Untitled 1". (2) If the program displays dialog "edit contour", then close the dialog. Program gives focus to the document window "Untitled 1". (3) Menu options Insert > Picture > "From File ...". Program displays dialog "Insert Picture". (4) Navigate to and select ~/lo_hacking/logs/20130419_1028.png, and click <Open>. Program shows the image in the document window. (5) Right-click on the the image and from the pop-up menu select Wrap > "Edit Countour...". Program displays "Contour Editor" with a larger version of the picture overlaying a smaller one. (For comparison, the version of LibreOffice delivered with ubuntu-natty, 3.3.4, shows the picture only once in "Contour Editor".) (6) In the toolbar, click <Ellipse> and move the mouse cursor over the picture. Mouse cursor changes to a cross-hair. (7) Drag the mouse cursor from one point on the picture to another. Program unsaturates the part of the picture outside the generated ellipse and then crashes with a segfault. Backtrace coming soon.
Created attachment 79469 [details] gdb backtrace from the segfault The segfault is at SdrUndoObjList::SdrUndoObjList, svx/source/svdraw/svdundo.cxx line 708, which reads ... m_pListener = new ObjListListener(*this, *pObj, *pObjList->GetModel()); pObjList is NULL, and the segfault follows immediately.
Responding to comment 3 ... Bug 62030 is different in that it does not report a crash, neither in the bug report nor in my test with localbuilt master. Of course, it may still be "related".
I am marking this as a duplicate of bug 62965 "EDITING: image contour editing crashes" because the backtraces from the crashes are as similar as can be up to and including frame #13. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 62965 ***
