Description Richard PALO 2015-01-02 14:54:08 UTC
Just came across this while attempting to uppercase a selected substring in a cell:

warn:sfx.control:101589:1:sfx2/source/control/dispatch.cxx:1505: Childwindow slot missing: 10365
warn:sfx.control:101589:1:sfx2/source/control/dispatch.cxx:1505: Childwindow slot missing: 10365
warn:sfx.control:101589:1:sfx2/source/control/dispatch.cxx:1505: Childwindow slot missing: 10365
Assertion failed: false, file /tmp/pkgsrc/misc/libreoffice4/work/libreoffice-4.3.5.2/sal/rtl/strtmpl.cxx, line 1231, function rtl_uString_newFromSubString

which is here:
    if ( count < 0 || beginIndex < 0 || beginIndex + count > pFrom->length )
    {
        assert(false); // fail fast at least in debug builds
        IMPL_RTL_STRINGNAME( newFromLiteral )( ppThis, "!!br0ken!!", 10, 0 );
        return;
    }

It'll be a bit before I can try to get here in debug, at least I'm running debug bits to get some useful info.
Comment 1 Richard PALO 2015-01-02 15:06:14 UTC
This is unfortunate, as instead of upcasing (a word containing an 'é') I thought I would try to simply insert the special character... but doing that I get :

warn:sfx.control:101840:1:sfx2/source/control/dispatch.cxx:1505: Childwindow slot missing: 10365
Assertion failed: eBlockStart == eBlockEnd && eBlockStart == eBlock, file /tmp/pkgsrc/misc/libreoffice4/work/libreoffice-4.3.5.2/svx/source/dialog/charmap.cxx, line 1472, function InitList

which corresponds to:
#if OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL > 0
            if (eBlock != UBLOCK_NO_BLOCK &&
                eBlock != UBLOCK_INVALID_CODE &&
                eBlock != UBLOCK_COUNT &&
                eBlock != UBLOCK_HIGH_SURROGATES &&
                eBlock != UBLOCK_HIGH_PRIVATE_USE_SURROGATES &&
                eBlock != UBLOCK_LOW_SURROGATES)

            {
                UBlockCode eBlockStart = ublock_getCode(aAllSubsets.back().GetRangeMin());
                UBlockCode eBlockEnd = ublock_getCode(aAllSubsets.back().GetRangeMax());
                assert(eBlockStart == eBlockEnd && eBlockStart == eBlock);
            }
#endif
        }



Not having much luck today. If it turns out the the fundamental cause is different for these, I guess this one should then be object of an different
bug report.

bt with debug symbols

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could reproduce this.
I attached a bt with symbols.
