Searching for text in Impress via ctrl-f crashes LibreOffice. This happened every time I searched in an existing powerpoint presentation. I then created a simple 6 slide Impress presentation from a template in the presentation wizard with a single line of text on each slide. LibreOffice also crashes each time I search for text via ctrl-f in this new Impress presentation. I'm using the x86-64 version of LibreOffice 4.2.0.2 (4.2 RC 2) on Kubuntu 12.04.4.
On pc Debian x86-64 with 4.2 sources updated some days ago, I don't reproduce this. - Did you install any LO specific extensions? - Could you rename your LO directory profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile) and give it a new try? If you still reproduce this, could you retrieve a backtrace, copy paste the content in a file and attach the file to the bugtracker? (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information#Windows:_How_to_get_a_backtrace)
Renaming my profile did not fix the problem. Extension manager shows these in the new profile: - English spelling dictionaries, hyphenation rules, thesaurus, and grammar checker 201.12.05.1 - French spelling dictionary, hyphenation rules, and thesaurus 4.11, Discollecte - Solver for Nonlinear Programming 0.9, The Document Foundation - Spanish spelling dictionary, hyphenation rules, and thesaurus 0.7, rla-es - Wiki Publisher 1.1.1, The Document Foundation These are the additional extensions in my original profile: Alternative searching 1.4, Tomas BILEK Zotero LibreOffice Integration 3.5.8 Also, the Extensions button at the bottom of the left column of Start Center does not function at all. It appears active but does nothing. Perhaps this is related. I don't have a libreoffice-dbg package but I'm attaching the backtrace results anyway.

I do not reproduce with version 4.2.0.3.0+ on Ubuntu 13.10 x86-64 Do you still encounter the same crash with the RC3 ? Best regards. JBF
I still reproduce the problem in 4.2.0.3 (4.2 RC 3).
(In reply to comment #5) > I still reproduce the problem in 4.2.0.3 (4.2 RC 3). Ok, so please, attach your test file and describe step by step what you do to reproduce the crash. Do you confirm that you use ctrl+F and not ctrl+H ? Do you reproduce the crash whatever you type in the search field ? Best regards. JBF
Created attachment 92866 [details] test impress file for reproducing the crash during search bug I have been able to reproduce the problem on every file I've tried including existing Impress files, new Impress files, and existing ppt files. In this case I created a new 7 slide Impress file with just text on each slide using LibreOffice 4.2.0.3 (4.2 RC3). This file is attached. Then I typed ctrl+f, typed the text "harry" (without the quotes) and hit enter. Since I had started on the last slide I was prompted to ask whether or not I wanted to continue at the beginning. I selected "Yes" at which point the search continued through the rest of the slides and then LibreOffice crashed. If I start on the first slide, LibreOffice crashes almost as soon as the search has began. I've tried various search terms such as "jungle", "cat", "bryophytes", etc. The crash happens regardless of which search term I use.
I just installed 4.2.0.3 (4.2 RC3) on windows 7 sp 1 in a virtual machine. The same problems occurs in this environment as well. At first I used the test file I attached to this bug earlier. Then I created a new file using the windows install. The crash still happens. A difference between the crash here and the crash under Kubuntu is that the docuement recovery dialog starts immediately in the windows environment.
It is very strange, I do not still reproduce the crash. I reported another bug like this one (bug 74104) but the crash is triggered differently and it concerns the search&replace dialog (ctrl+H). Did you try with a clean new LibreOffice user profile? https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/General/110 Best regards. JBF

JBF I did try a new profile in Kubuntu with RC 2. I just tried again with RC 3 to make sure but that still did not help. RC 3 was the first install of LibreOffice in the windows VM so that was a brand new profile too.
I just tested with 4.2.0.4 (release) and still have the same problem. Searching via ctrl-f causes LibreOffice to crash on Kubuntu 12.04.4 on my laptop, and on windows 7 sp 1 in a virtual machine. I also just went through all the same tests in a Kubuntu 12.04.2 virtual machine and the crash happens there as well.
Same problem exists running LibreOffice 4.2.0.4 (release) under Gnome on Ubuntu 12.04.2 and Ubuntu 12.04.4 in a VirtualBox VM.
I just to access to a windows 7 sp1 install on a separate laptop with different hardware. The exact same problem exists there too.
Hi, It seems this bug is related with this one (under Win7): https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74653 This bug is fixed in LO 4.2.1.1. Regards
JPJ - thanks for the report; can you confirm whether this still affects you for a recent LibreOffice 4.2.x ? =)

Ok, so closing as duplicate because it seems that the issue is that the search term is not present in the text, exactly as in bug 74653. Best regards. JBF *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 74653 ***
I somehow missed comment 15 and lost track of this bug. I can confirm that the bug disappeared in 4.3.x and is not present in 4.4.0.3. It was not a duplicate bug though. The crash occurred even when the search term was present.
just nitpicking, since there's no specific fix, I'll put WFM
