Emir: is it with a brand new LO profile?
If yes, could you try to retrieve some more info? (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information#Mac_OSX:_How_to_get_debug_information)

Oh, yes, it's a brand new profile. :)

Ok, since I don't have any more question for the moment, I put it back to Unconfirmed.

All with a new user profile on mac osx 10.8.4 

I think that the Importance could be set higher.
Comment 8 Tomaz Vajngerl 2013-08-22 10:40:59 UTC
Yes it also crashes for me on Linux, but not on Windows. I will take a look at this. It started crashing some time after my changes to the ruler so I don't think my changes are responsible. the problem propagates from SvxRuler::ApplyIndents() to SwTextShell::Execute so the problem is somewhere here.
Comment 9 Julien Nabet 2013-08-22 18:48:29 UTC
Tomaz: On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I reproduced the crash just by moving once the ruler handler.
If it can help, here are main lines of bt (with debug symbol):

Comment 10 Tomaz Vajngerl 2013-08-22 19:38:00 UTC
Thanks, this is helpful. Looks like commit [1] is the cause. I have added Caolán to cc as I am not sure how to fix this.

is this ok?
Comment 12 Tomaz Vajngerl 2013-08-22 20:53:58 UTC
I don't think this is the solution. I think Caolán wanted to change the type from SfxUInt16Item to SfxStringItem when he was working on the dialog but he didn't change every usage (for example - from the ruler). 

So you generally revert this to original state with a twist - it will work again for the ruler but probably won't work anymore from the dialog. The solution IMHO is to change this in the ruler (SvxRuler) from SfxUInt16Item to SfxStringItem but I need to track down where.
Comment 13 Caolán McNamara 2013-08-23 08:27:57 UTC
hmph!, looks to me that the types were always misaligned on this code path. A SvxLRSpaceItem in SvxRuler::ApplyIndents and SfxStringItem down here. But we were getting away with it. Looks like there's a simple fix, in that code path we don't actually show the dialog, so we don't need to find out the name of the page to show, i.e. move the query into the dialog-show block and let the code take the other non-dialog branch which has the special casing for LR_SPACE
