It's been 3 months since that post, but LibreOffice 4.2.1 has still not been released. Template editing is still crashing the current release version of LibreOffice. My version is 4.2.0.4, and a "Check for Updates" says "LibreOffice 4.2 is up to date". What's going on? When is LibreOffice 4.2.1 planned to be released? The Release Plan[1] seems to indicate that LibreOffice 4.2.1 was supposed to have been released by 13 April 2014 (one month ago).

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. UPDATE 2: As noted in my comments #3 and #4 I found this issue also effects LO on Windows, so went to report the bug upstream, only to find an existing report there, which I have now linked. That report seems to suggest the upcoming 4.2.1 release of LO should have fixed the issue.
