Description Matthew Francis 2015-05-19 16:30:04 UTC
Apparently another VclPtr one:

Unfortunately this is only reproducible under the experimental UI testing automation I've been working on, and not by hand, but the crash doesn't occur in builds before VclPtr was merged.

What the test is doing is:
- Open a new Writer window
- Open "Insert - Special Character..."
- Click on the table cell "!"
- Click on the button "Insert"

Confirmed with (also unpublished ;) bibisect-50max - this started at exactly the below commit
Adding Cc: to michael.meeks@collabora.com; Could you possibly take a look at this one? Thanks

Comment 3 Matthew Francis 2015-05-19 16:58:01 UTC
Additional information on the last part of the reproduction - in fact it's doing an accessibility action "press" of the button. If a mouse click is simulated instead, no crash

Could you give a try with this patch?
diff --git a/svx/source/dialog/charmap.cxx b/svx/source/dialog/charmap.cxx

Indeed, aVscrollSB has already been disposed, your bt shows svx/source/dialog/charmap.cxx:699 (frame 7), see:
    694 void SvxShowCharSet::dispose()
    695 {

Linux 5.0 master backtrace (after comment 4 patch)

With the patch it gets slightly further, but still ends up crashing with a different trace

Reproducer script

Attached is a minimal reproducer, without various setup dependencies the original script has

To run it you'll need:
- Python 2 (everyone should have)
- A release dogtail package (e.g. python-dogtail on Ubuntu)
- LibreOffice running with a single Writer window open and accessibility enabled (export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN="gtk" GTK_MODULES="gail:atk-bridge")
