Description Matthew Carter 2015-09-30 02:11:37 UTC 
Under 5.0.1.2.0 00m0(Build:2) I am experiencing a crash in both my x86 and i686 based systems when using libreoffice writer when selecting and deselecting text.

Steps to reproduce:

Install latest libreoffice from Arch Linux via "pacman -S libreoffice" (choose all products).

Open a document, type text.
Select the text, then click somewhere else.

The libreoffice writer software will then crash, with a console output of " ** (soffice:5390): WARNING **: Unknown event notification 36"

LibO 5.0.2.2 is out.
try upgrading and tell if issue is still present or not.

status -> NEEDINFO

As a workaround, add export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk to your .bash_profile, or uncomment this line in /etc/profile.d/libreoffice-fresh.sh. You'll need to logout-login for the change to take effect.
