Not sure if this is fixed yet or not but I was having frequent freezes and crashes in the LO 4.4.x so I decided to upgrade to 5.0.4 to see if the bug had been fixed. It hasn't. I'm making a document that uses lots of special characters. The dialog window used to insert them often becomes slow and unresponsive. Often this completely freezes LO. I have to kill the application, restart it, and recover the document. Sometimes, a special character is inserted and it disappears too.
Hi David, I reproduce with LO 5.1.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 8cfdd81b70ef37927b40497ffd10034f28335034 TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2015-07-24_02:47:18 Locale: fr-FR LO 5.0.0.3 Build ID: f79b5ba13f5e6cbad23f8038060e556217e66632 but not with LO 5.0.0.2 Build ID: a26d58f11b99b6aeddf7f7884effea188cc6e512 OS : Windows 7 Home Premium Selecting icon for Special Character, LO freezes. Trying to quit LO by Ctrl+Alt+Suppr, I can see the error message : LibreOffice 5.0 - Fatal error SEH Exception: ACCESS VIOLATION Selecting Insert > Special Character, Fatal error message is displayed, LO closes and recovery process is launch. I verified with Writer and Calc, but probably all components affected. Thank you for the report.
I can not reproduce with calc: Win7x64Ultimate Version: 5.0.0.5 (x64)Build ID: 1b1a90865e348b492231e1c451437d7a15bb262b Maybe resetting the user profile could help, I think 5.x uses the same profile than 4.x, but I have the 5.0 version with a parallel installation that has their own clean profile. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile
Resetting profile does not make a difference. I cannot comment on Calc because I only use Draw. I use Draw daily for all of my work so when something is broken I usually notice quickly. Also, I am using Linux not Windoze so I would not be surprised if this only affects 64bit linux users.
Thanks for test. I can't reproduce also with Draw. Please, does it happen with all Fonts and any subset?, could be useful for devs.

It is an intermittent bug unfortunately. I migrated to the 5.0.0.x release candidates because the freezes were affecting my work so often I was afraid I would corrupt my work document with the frequent document recovery processes. Unfortunately, the freezes also affect the upcoming 5 series. What I have managed to determine is that the font table problem reported in my other bug (probably related to this bug) affects 5.0.0.2, 5.0.0.4, and 5.0.0.5 I have downgraded to 4.4.5.2 and the tables are now rendered correctly. I will attach pix to this bug and the other in the hope someone can rectify it.
Created attachment 117674 [details] Screens window when crash. I have not in Win7 subset Domino Tiles. LibreOffice crash after insert characters from Sigoe family font when I try to open again the Insert Special Character box. Step to reproduce: - Create a new file in Draw. - Create a text box - Call Special Character - Select any Segoe Font. - Insert a character, and close the box. - [Enter] in the text box. - Call Special Character again. - LibreOffice crash, seems as if it is trying to select U+FFFF(65535) character, see attached screenshot.

Does the proposed patch also fix the problem some of us are having with font tables not being displayed correctly or is it just the crash / lock up bug?

Isn't this bug fixed for versions 5.0.1 upwards? It continues to appear in 5.0.3 release. Version 5.0.3.2 x64, platform win7 x64 home premium. The crashes appear in the same circumstances as described in comment 1.
Hi @Petr, I have test with my step to reproduce in comment#8, and no issue. Just in case please test disabling Menu/Tools/Options/View/Graphics Output - Use OpenGL for all rendering (restart LibreOffice) Testing again resetting the user profile: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile Usually it's enough renaming/deleting the file "user/registrymodifications.xcu", it affect all the options in Menu/Tools/Options, and the files "user/basic/dialog.xlc" and "scrip.xlc" are overwritten, additionally custom colors in "user/config/standard.soc" are lost.
Hi, Miguel, thanks for your reply. These actions don't have any effect on crashes: (1) Removing Libreoffice, making a clean reinstall, thereby removing all of the old profile. (2) Disabling OpenGL or other graphics options through Menu/Tools/Options/View/Graphics Output. Followed the steps in your comment 6. Couldn't go any further than step three, that's Step to reproduce: - Create a new file in Draw. - Create a text box - Call Special Character At the moment Special Character is called Libreoffice shows Fatal error message and closing message crashes application. There's a slight difference in the platforms used which may be the cause for different behaviour. I got crashes in W. Home premium as in comment 1 and you tested in W. Ultimate in your comment 2. In Home premium I checked Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw. All get special character crashes.
Does it happen with any Font or with some in particular?
Possibly happens in all of them. Checked some. Liberation serif, Arial, Lucida console, Times new roman. Doesn't make any difference for the crash pattern.
