file in which error teke place

My Office hangs and does not respond !!!
Not completely... restart cures :)

It take (for me) place after these actions:
1) open file "libcurl.odt" (in attachment)
2) select by mouse text "out with curl-7.48" (in row "3. Execute curl --trace out with curl-7.48")
3) change font to "Liberation Serif"
... and finish. Can't change font size, can't execute something in menu. Need to kill soffice.bin

My Linux:

the "importance" described as normal, because this fault costs me 1 hour

I tested this bug on Windows 10 and version 5.2.0.0 Alpha1+ and was not able to reproduce this bug. I followed the steps listed in the Description of the report and the program did not hang or crash. Can anyone on Linux test this?

Comment 3 Aron Budea 2016-05-20 05:16:26 UTC
Reproduced something similar in Ubuntu 15.10, LO 5.1.3.2 (64-bit, UI Render: doesn't matter). Though for me it's a visual problem, there's no hang.

I opened the document, and selected either the text in step 3), or just the first two lines of text in the doc (so they're different fonts and size), and changed the font.

Observation:
Certain visual elements disappear: menu texts, some dialog texts (on Close for example), text selection colors. Font name changes to something irrelevant, and then isn't updated, font size list is empty.
It's not a hang, the program is responsive, though working on the document is difficult because of the missing visuals.


Dear reporter, can you check if you still get a hang with LO 5.1.3, or the same symptoms as I got?
If you don't want to overwrite your existing install, here are instructions on installing multiple versions in parallel: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux

Not reproduced in 4.4.0.3, so it's a regression.

Symptoms in 5.0.5.2 are slightly different than in 5.1.3.2: menu items don't disappear, text selection is colored normally. Dialog area isn't updated at all, and shows what's been there on the screen previously.
Rest of the symptoms are the same.
Comment 6 Aron Budea 2016-09-14 05:16:20 UTC
Earlier reproduction: v5.0.0.5 / Ubuntu 16.04.
(still reproduced with v5.2.1.2)
Comment 7 Aron Budea 2016-09-14 06:30:36 UTC
Bug not reproducible with 50-max bibisect repo's "latest" commit.
Comment 8 Aron Budea 2017-01-18 05:23:02 UTC
I can't reproduce the visual glitches anymore in 5.2.3.3 and 5.3.0.1 / Ubuntu 16.04. Please retest.
