Found an existing upstream bug report for this - https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=74148 - appears it will be fixed in the upcoming 4.2.1 release of LibreOffice. I'll try to link this bug report to the upstream bug report ...
** Bug watch added: LibreOffice Bugzilla #74148 https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=74148 ** Also affects: df-libreoffice via https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=74148 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1277128 Title: LibreOffice crashes when trying to open template for editing from Template Manager Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Unknown Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) amd64 _with_ the ppa:libreoffice/ppa repository/PPA enabled, and this issue is with the current packages (showing as 4.2.0.4 within LibreOffice and 1:4.2.0~rc4-0ubuntu1~precise4 as the package versions). When I have a template in the Template Manager, clicking the Edit button should open it up for editing and close the Template Manager. Instead the template opens behind the template manager, but then LibreOffice hangs or crashes. I've had this issue both with a Writer (.ott file) template which I created myself, and with the Impress templates which are provided by default. I've tried moving ~/.config/libreoffice such that LibreOffice can start with fresh user data, but this did not stop the problem occurring. Unfortunately starting LO in a terminal, with commands such as 'lowriter', 'libreoffice' or 'soffice', does not seem to produce any output I can paste here. UPDATE: See my comment #2, where I note the problem also appears to effect the version of LibreOffice in the current 14.04 (trusty), as of the 08-Feb-2014 07:49 daily build.
