Created attachment 102308 [details] from gdb on core file, with symbols I have managed to provoke a segfault in (whitespace added): #0 0x00007fc739bef5f8 in XPropertyList::Count (this=0x0) at /home/terry/lo_hacking/git/libo2/svx/source/xoutdev/xtable.cxx:147 The terminal output ends with three occurrences of the message (whitespace added): warn:legacy.osl:5674:1:include/rtl/ref.hxx:163: Reference::operator->() : null body STR (1) Create new Writer document "Untitled 1". (2) If the window does not have the Drawing toolbar at the bottome, then select View > Toolbars > Drawing. Program displays Drawing toolbar at bottom of the LibreOffice window; mouse cursor is I-beam. (3) If the shape icon is not Rectangle, right-click the icon and select Rectangle from the pop-up menu. Program again displays the ellipse icon and the tooltip is still Ellipse. I see this as a bug in itself. The mouse cursor becomes a cross-hair. (4) If the shape icon in Drawing toolbar is Rectangle, click Rectangle icon. Mouse cursor becomes crosshair. (5) In the document area, drag mouse cursor a bit. Program displays a blue rectangle with handles. (6) Click within the blue rectangle. No visible result. (7) Right-click within the blue rectangle. Program presents pop-up menu. (8) In pop-up menu, select "Area...". Program action expected: to present window Area, tab Area; Section contains dropdown list with Color selected, and list of colors shows "Blue 9" selected. Program action observed: segfault. This observation is from master commit dc795cb, fetched 2014-07-02 2357 UTC, configured: --enable-option-checking=fatal --enable-dbgutil --enable-crashdump --without-system-postgresql --without-myspell-dicts --with-extra-buildid --without-doxygen --with-external-tar=/home/terry/lo_hacking/git/src built and running on debian-wheezy 64-bit. For comparison, I see no crash with LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 as delivered with debian-wheezy.
Correcting comment 1: The master version that I fetched on 2014-07-02 is 397362d.
