Problem description: 
scalc crashed when opening a particular .ods file.  See attached.

Steps to reproduce:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\program\scalc" D:\Budget.ods

Current behavior:
crash prompt

Expected behavior:
open file ready to edit

The attached file should cause the crash.

I have tried the following versions 
4.2.4 works
4.3.0 CRASH
4.3.1 CRASH
4.3.3 CRASH

In all cases double clicking on the file works fine.  The crash is only on the command line.  I am using the "cmd" command line, Windows 7 64bit pro.

The results are consistent with problem.  Windows and version 4.3 and above.  The command line in Linux are very different than windows.

I can confirm with LO 4.3.3, win7. The crash is only on the command line.

Could someone retrieve a backtrace by using this link:

?

Hello,
when I attach windbg to running soffice process, then I can open file without crash. So I don't know how to debug...

raal: just for the test, could you give a try to brand new 4.3.4?

LO  4.3.4.1
Comment 9 Miroslav Fitz 2014-12-03 17:09:47 UTC
I can confirm the problem with opening documents from commandline.
It started from 4.3.x version.
It is probbaly not connected to any particular document type but to startup of LibreOffice.
Workaround for me is to have quickstarter running before using commandline.
Probbably duplicate of bug 82968.
Comment 10 Miroslav Fitz 2014-12-03 17:16:45 UTC
another workaround:
start "office" "C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\program\scalc" D:\Budget.ods

The issue with this and the quick start option is that these commands detach from the command line and allow the scrip to continue.  I use the script to mount and (when done) dismount.  If the the batch continues before exiting the spreadsheet then the files cannot be saved.

I have the same problem with LO 4.4.3.2. This affects not only calc, also
swriter -o file
soffice -o file
crashes.

In general command line support is totally broken, because any command line option crashes LO.

In my opinion LO 5 should not be released if the command line is not working.
Comment 16 muso 2015-05-25 18:59:22 UTC
A crash bug is by definition critical.
