soffice.bin crashed with SIGSEGV in g_lo_action_group_activate()

[Chris Hermansen]

In Quantal, up to date as of today.

I opened Libre Office writer, clicked on File>Recent Documents.

I have been experimenting recently with a template (.ott) and I clicked on it, to open. Nothing much appeared to happen for the next 15 seconds or so, so I clicked on File> again and the writer window darkened, then crashed (disappeared). Nothing left running on the system.

Subsequent to this apport report, I started up writer again, which led me to the crash recovery screen for "Untitled" (not my template), which recovered ok (apparently).

Chris Hermansen, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please provide the template you were working on when this crash occurred?

Template, as requested.

I made this template quite recently, on this version of Libre Office (sorry to be vague about the date, but it was within the last week).

Chris Hermansen, this is unreproducible in Xubuntu.

+ Is this consistently reproducible in the newest version of Writer from the Quantal repository?
+ If you uninstall libreoffice-gtk, is this still reproducible?

Christopher;

After my updates finished this morning, I tried opening this template
and all seems OK.

So it is no longer reproducible in Ubuntu and therefore I guess we
should mark it solved or invalid or something.
