Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2015-08-18 13:39:57 UTC
As mentioned in bug 93102, if LO crashes while the contour editor is open, the contour editor will automatically reopen the next time Writer is launched.

Steps:
1) Open Writer
2) Insert an image
3) Context Menu > Wrap > Edit Contour
4) Cause libreoffice to crash (e.g. xkill on linux)
5) Reopen Writer and notice the contour editor will open automatically

Following http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=8aff239993e803ece4a8de6102f5dd57b89133fd which fixes tdf#93102, do you reproduce this with a more recent LO version?

Hi Julien,

This bug is inherited from OOo, so the fix to stop the editor from crashing due to the vclptr work didnt deal with this issue, which is why i'm submitting it as a second bug report. :D

You can see this behavior with *any* non-modal dialog in LO. If you leave it open when closing LO, it will open the next time you open LO. It seems like something intentional, although I can't think right now of any case where it could be useful.

Setting to NEW as Maxim confirmed it. :D

Doesnt happen with the hyperlink dialog, but does happen with insert index entry dialog.

BTW it had the same behavior in 4.3, but apparently changed by someone for 4.4.
Comment 6 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2015-08-21 06:02:20 UTC
This has a very bad effect that if you close the dialog and it causes a crash (eg. bug 93188) and then you reopen the module the dialog is shown again and you are stuck in an infinite crash loop, as i am currently with impress.

I wanted to say: I kill the process, but NO unintentional crash.
