Created attachment 93362 [details] .xls-file to reproduce the crash When started from the console, the following errors appears: soffice.bin: Fatal IO error: client killed KCrash: Application 'soffice.bin' crashing... KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly. Maybe Related to bug 39032? "xls file with 4 data points and chart (non-contiguous data range)"
there is no error-message displayed on screen, only the one at the console when started from there.
Probably a Problem with a Chart. The opend File in LO4.1 shows a chart, but no valid data-range in it, see screenshot.
Created attachment 93364 [details] Screenshot of the chart without data-range
Created attachment 93365 [details] file saved with LO4.1, no crash, data-range filled When the file is saved from LO4.1 as .ods, it can be displayed without problems an the chart-data-range is filled. maybe the buggy-file is a malformed .xls from excel with less "tollerance" from LO4.2 then from 4.1?
the crash with the bug-file appears when the tab "OR" is selected. a few times it happend also when i try to delete other tabs or saving the file.
FYI, Unchecking the "precision as shown" option prevents the crash. I know where it crashes now. Still working on getting it fixed.
