Full crash report

Using 10.6.8 on both an iMac and a MacBook Pro.

In Text, create a drawing object, e.g. rectangle. Then create another, overlapping the first.

Select the first one and from 'format' choose 'Arrange'>'Move to front'. The object moves and then LibreOffice crashes. I have found this happens consistently, but other users have reported not seeing this fault.

caolanm->tor: does this backtrace speak to you in any way. No problem under Linux and the bt looks odd to me

No crash here with LibreOffice 4.1.3.2 on OS X 10.9.

Do you have some accessibility tools active? Does the crash go away if you disable them?

Interesting. I"m using QuicKeys; I turned it off and no crash. Turned it back on - crash. So that's the conflict. I don't quite see why having QK running (not actually doing anything) should crash LibreOffice but at least I know where the conflict is.

Well, as you see in the backtrace, it is not LibreOffice code that immediately causes the crash, but code in the OS X Objective-C library (libobjc), called through a dozen of layers of OS X frameworks (CoreFoundation, Foundation, AppKit, HIServices, etc). Perhaps QuickKeys manages to mess up something so that the way LibreOffice uses the OS X APIs (which might be uncommon) causes a crash.

I'd say resolve as NOTOURBUG?

Certainly a conflict rather than a bug: the exact details are beyond my knowledge; this is going to be one of those problems which won't get resolved (unless the new version of QK - if it ever arrives, which seems doubtful - removes the problem).

Agreeing with Tor.

Setting to NOTOURBUG.

Roger: although this isn't really solved, maybe it's worth pinging the QuickKeys dev. Otherwise we cannot even be sure, he's aware if the issue.
Comment 7 Roger Wilmut 2013-11-22 16:29:38 UTC
I can try, but it's doubtful any good will come of it - QuicKeys hasn't been updated for two years and though they keep promising an updated version nothing has come of it so far.
