Created attachment 114139 [details] Crash log Pasting a footnote from an external application crashes LibreOffice Writer, though it works in OpenOffice Writer. i.e., the cursor is placed in the body of the text, and what ought to be inserted is a footnote reference number (usual superscript), and in the footnote itself the relevant text. Yet LibreOffice Writer crashes. Please see attached crash log.
LD - please provide clearer instructions on how to reproduce. "Pasting a footnote from an external application" gives us almost no information. Please give us an enumerated list of steps that gives details as to what software you are using. Marking as NEEDINFO - once you provide clearer steps please set to UNCONFIRMED. Thanks
*** Bug 90047 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Apologies, I should have mentioned that the other software is called Accordance (http://www.accordancebible.com). A demo version is available for download. Setup in Demo version (Mac) In Preferences > Bibliography: a) enable "Insert citation as footnote" b) select "Turabian footnote" as Format type. Steps to reproduce: 1) in the workspace that initially opened you'll see three text panes. Select some text in the middle pane (titled Matthew Henry abridged). 2) Select menu "Edit > Copy as > Bibliography" 3) Switch to LibreOffice Writer and create a new document 4) Paste into body... crash. Doing the same in OpenOffice Writer works. A related bug: formatting 1) for the highlighted text, choose menu "Edit > Copy as > Citation" 2) Paste into OpenOffice writer doc... and into LibreOffice Writer doc 3) see different results. OO Writer, places the reference in the footnote only and maintains its formatting (e.g., italics for book name etc) LO Writer, places the reference both in the body and the footnote and loses formatting.
Reproduced. Will attach backtrace of 4.4 crash.

Created attachment 114467 [details] RTF data from Accordance 11 RTF data acquired with http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/inside_clipboard.html Attached in plain text: The first verse of the Bible gives us a satisfying and useful account of the origin of the earth and the heavens. The faith of humble Christians understands this better than the fancy of the most learned men. Pasting crashes with LibreOffice 4.3.0.1 on Win 7 Does not crash with LibreOffice 3.5.0rc3
Opening attachment 114467 [details] crashes LO immediately - which may have something to do with it, if that is what is being passed over the clipboard Reproduced on: Linux / current 4.5 master Linux / the start of bibisect 43all OSX / LO 3.5.6.2 But it works on 3.3.0.4 on OSX. So this looks to me like another very early regression.
Comment on attachment 114467 [details] RTF data from Accordance 11 Set the rtf sample to be text/rtf - that way it should be picked up by the crash tester
Pasting to 3.5.7.2 x86 on OS X 10.10 does not crash. Footnote is inserted correctly. Pasting to 4.2.8.2 x86 on OS X 10.10 crashes.
dunno if https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/17325/ is a good fix or a bad one, doesn't crash afterwards, though footnote is vertical instead of horizontal
