Re: Crash when trying to create a new style

[Matthias Seidel]

You mean you installed OpenOffice with their DEBS, aren't you?
After you uninstalled LibreOffice with:

sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

I also did a fresh start and "new file" in CALC, no crash...




kind regards

I use the german version (32 bit) but I doubt that it is dependend on the language. As for MS fonts, I have installed "ttf-mscorefonts-installer" from Ubuntu Software-Center.

Hello Johnny,

I can't reproduce your crash.
I am on Ubuntu 14.04 (32bit). Did you uninstall LibreOffice before
installing OpenOffice?

Yes, I did, and then I installed LibreOffice with their DEBS. I tested the
same thing in LibreOffice 4.2.6.3 (I installed it a long time ago…),
without a crash. However, when working with a particular document, which
was converted from an XLS file, containing some MS fonts like Arial Narrow
that my current system lacks, I can't edit existing styles. If I right
click one and select Edit, nothing happens (in neither Apache OpenOffice
nor LibreOffice). If I create a new spreadsheet, I can edit styles. Maybe
something wrong with some of my files then…

I'll install the latest stable LibreOffice and see what happens.

Still, the original problem happens after a fresh start of the operating
system and Apache OpenOffice with a ”new file”, so everything doesn't seem
to be my file's fault…


Kind regards

Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2 installed with the DEB files downloaded from
http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html. I installed it a few days
ago, so it should be the latest version.
Operating system: Ubuntu 14.04

How to make it crash:
1. Start your operating system.
2. Rename ”~/.openoffice/4/user” to ”~/.openoffice/4/user.old” (or don't,
in my case it didn't matter at all)
3. Open Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2 (4.1.1 will also do, I had the same
problem
with it)
4. Select Apache OpenOffice Calc (I don't know if Writer has the same
problem, I almost never run anything else than Calc)
5. Hit F11 to open the stylist.
6. Right click a paragraph style, select New.
7. Apache OpenOffice crash.
8. Undo step 2 if you like.

Am I the only one with this problem? If so, where do I start looking for
what's causing this problem?


Kind regards
