Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Xavier Guillot (valeryan-24)]

I confirm it : I have LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 - Version ID : 350m1(Build:202) on Precise, lo-menubar installed, and I also have crashes quasi all the times I do a print preview.

It happens in Calc, too.

I have a crash file from LibreOffice, I join the first rows, after that there are thousands of lines with random letters & numbers, file is 11 Mo size, I'll upload if necessary.

bug #970261 has a debug stacktrace and is likely the same issue

Thank you very much Sebastien for showing some love to this bug. Hopefully Alberto will have time to fix this.

This bug is a big concern for Ubuntu users, even though the number of people affected by this don't reflect it.

This bug is related to:
- Bug #969136 : lo-menubar should be pulled in by ubuntu-desktop to better integrate LibreOffice with Unity
- Bug #957847 : HUD does not work with LibreOffice
On freedesktop, this is the bug:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37762

Actually, I just checked and I found that this is a duplicate of Bug #754562. It makes more sense now: that bug has dozens of duplicates and more than a hundred people affected by it.
If Alberto wants to work on this, he should probably be assigned to it on that bug's page.

When Page Preview called form 'File' -> 'Page Preview' menu first, LibreOffice don't crashes and 'Page Preview' toolbar button works without crashes before the program will be restarted. If Page Preview called form 'Page Preview' toolbar button first, it always leads to crash.

Yes - I have the exact same issue. I have uninstalled lo-menubar, but that seems to be a sad solution :(
