Created attachment 96340 [details] presentation file to reproduce with After opening a .pptx file and copying some slides to a new presentation, LibreOffice crashed on starting the slide show. I have attached a minimal file that can be used to reproduce the issue. My system: 64-bit Arch Linux with LibreOffice 4.2.2.1. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open the attached presentation file. 2. Go to the slide sorter and copy the slides to clipboard. 3. Open a new empty presentation, and paste the slides to the end of the slide sorter, giving you 3 slides total. 4. Start presenting. (for me, in the mode that shows both the current and next slide on the screen) 5. Go to the next slide. What should happen: Libreoffice should show the next slide, and the slide after that (with text) in the next-slide-box. What happens: Libreoffice keeps the next-slide-box empty, and shows a message-box with title "LibreOffice 4.2 - Fatal Error" and no content, except for the exception icon. On pressing OK it completely terminates. Running with --backtrace: I got no interesting output, just: [Inferior 1 (process 27016) exited with code 0115] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/gdbtrace:9: Error in sourced command file: No stack. quit Other things that might be related: - The presentation uses Calibri, a font I do not have. (I imported it from a .pptx file) - The bullet characters show up as blocks, likely also a font thing.
I can confirm exactly the same using Version: 4.2.3.2 Build ID: 7c5c769e412afd32da4d946d2cb0c8b0674e95e0 Ubuntu 13.10 - Set as new - Sophie
Bug is still present and 100% reproducible in 4.2.4.2.
Only happens for me on multihead, i.e. presenter console active
