Comment 1 Jacques Guilleron 2014-08-22 21:56:43 UTC
Hi, 

I don't reproduce. Following your steps, this file is correctly opened with 
LO 4.3.0.4 and Windows 7 Home Premium.
Did you get this behaviour each time?

Have a nice day,

Jacques

@Bogdan
which Win7 version do you use? 32 or 64 bit?
Comment 3 Bogdan Bog 2014-08-23 07:17:35 UTC
The computer has windows 7 Pro, SP1, 64bit.
I will try to locate another win7 computer and attempt to reproduce the problem.
Comment 4 Urmas 2014-08-24 12:16:48 UTC
The visible difference is that after launching the file by Command Prompt the soffice.bin command line has this parameter:

"-env:OOO_CWD=2<user profile directory>"

and by Explorer this one:

"-env:OOO_CWD=2<directory containing the file>"
Comment 5 Urmas 2014-08-24 14:17:48 UTC
Other filetypes are affected too.
Comment 6 Bogdan Bog 2014-08-24 16:02:00 UTC
1) From CMD.exe window (when crashing)
Process tree (shown by procexp) explorer.exe/cmd.exe/scalc/soffice.exe/soffice.bin
"C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\program\scalc.exe" "-o" "D:\meme2\rozne\miernik\test.ods" "--calc" "-env:OOO_CWD=2D:\\meme2\\rozne\\miernik"
working dir C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\program\

2) From Windows explorer (when OK)
process tree services.exe/svchost.exe(dcom launchner)/explorer.exe/scalc/soffice.exe/soffice.bin
"C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\program\scalc.exe" "-o" "D:\meme2\rozne\miernik\test.ods" "--calc" "-env:OOO_CWD=2D:\\meme2\\rozne\\miernik"
working dir C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\program\


3) From cmd.exe using "start test.ods" OK, no problem
tree/args/env like in 1)

3) when started like 2), then close the document but calc stays up, then from cmd.exe window "test.ods", works OK, 
tree/args/env like in 2) 

Should I be testing this on another win7 64bit box or have you manage to reproduce ?

Probbably similair problem like bug 85777
Comment 8 Joe Nahmias 2015-04-22 02:28:12 UTC
I am able to reproduce this problem with multiple types of files, regardless of which LO application is used (eg. Calc, Writer, etc...)

Comment 13 Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2015-05-09 19:12:59 UTC
Py_Initialize() ends up calling abort() because it can't set up stdio stuff.

similar to bug 77891, but the difference is that this bug is about
starting soffice.exe from a cmd.exe console.

can reproduce this on master.

the upstream bug has a new patch that appears to fix this problem.

upstream bug is: http://bugs.python.org/issue17797
- bugzilla doesn't allow to add it to "see also" :(

probably it's a regression since the upstream bug says the issue
did not exist with Visual Studio 2010 which was used for LO 4.0-4.1 builds.

fixed on master
