Description aguador 2021-03-08 11:18:32 CET

The latest version of LO Writer crashes immediately after opening a large odt file (132,000+ words). When restarting LO, recuperation of the file succeeds.

Note that it was possible to open this same file with LO 7.0.x.x with no problem.

To reproduce simple open a very large Writer file.
On my system the file takes time to correctly calculate the number of pages, then crashes.
Restarting LO offers the chance to recover the file, which succeeds.

Terminal output when closing recovered large doc

I did not have the terminal set to capture enough lines of output, but the first two lines are repeated numerous times.

Note the critical warnings.

Having seen the glib warnings, it is worth noting that I recall this starting before gcc and glib updates.

Cauldron is unstable for now, with many packages to update or to rebuild.

On dev ML, tmb said he has pushed an updated glibc and binutils. So, some packages need rebuilding.

Leaving this.

Still the case, python 3.9 merge and rebuild.

Comment 7 Aurelien Oudelet 2021-03-21 17:00:41 CET

libreoffice-7.1.2.1-2.mga9.src.rpm in cauldron/core/release. Status?

If still reproducible, please report upstream and provide here a link to their BugReport?

I will comment when my installed dependencies are rebuilt with Python 3.9 and I can update

The problem persists, but not in safe mode which says I need to redo the profile or there is an extension (I would suspect Language Tool) that is causing the problem.

Closing this report with apologies for the noise.

However, I will note that starting from the terminal produces a warning as shown below. The link provides a method for packagers to eliminate the warning even if logging is not wanted.
