On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today (a4bf46accfc73f6993c1d29b84d586a91d21c2c8), I don't reproduce this.

Could you give a try to a version at least from a4bf46accfc73f6993c1d29b84d586a91d21c2c8 ?

Can someone test with a recent build under Windows? Some problems are Direct X related and occur only under Windows.

Comment 9 Julien Nabet 2015-05-28 18:07:33 UTC
On Win7 with master sources (updated yesterday (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=5af7ca55a3d06ab23df715346c9b24d1333907be), I don't reproduce the crash.

Gabriel: could you give a try to a even more recent LO version? (hoping that the fix has been backported on 5.0 branch)
Comment 10 Gabriel Diosan 2015-05-29 14:17:16 UTC
Hi Julien

I tested with

LibreOffice Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: ef2e135cfb8f107a154aaab9b54f2dfca0edf6a0
TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@46-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2015-05-28_23:58:34
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8)

Bug is not present. If there are no objections I can set this to RESOLVED unless someone wishes to wait for LibreOffice 5.0 Beta 2 to see if the fix is present there as well.

Thanks all for following up on this one.

Gabriel

Thank you for your feedback Gabriel.

Reading the Philippe's comment, it may have been fixed by http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=90e901b3f92b3c537aaf0dab83de2a9b073e761f (its fix has been backported in 5.0 branch).

Let's put this one to WFM. If someone reproduces this in 5.0.0, please don't hesitate to reopen this tracker.
