libreoffice 3.6.2 crash clicking on charts/formulas

[flux]

Hi, I opened some spreadsheets with libreoffice 3.6.1 on Ubuntu Quantal Beta 2 but when I clicked on a chart libreoffice crashed instantly. I opened libreoffice with gdb and this was message on crash:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007fffea91fd06 in ?? ()
   from /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_gtklo.so

what happened? I tried to update to version 3.6.2 but Calc still crash.

ps. On Windows, with 3.6.2, there were non problems.

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

I have the same problem with formulas and charts in writer. It is impossible to add them or to change them in an old document. Every time LibreOffice crashes.

Please could you provide a file which demonstrates this crash

[flux (luigimarco)]

for me is impossible to provide a file, because libreoffice crash before that I can save it... I'm sorry

ps. I also noticed that writer crash when I attempt to add an index

Is this running in unity or without unity?

Also please install libreoffice-dbg and provide a full stacktrace.

[flux (luigimarco)]

with unity... ok, but how can I use libreoffice-dbg to obtain a stacktrace? I'm sorry, but I've never installed it

[flux (luigimarco)]

unfortunately I haven't 3gb to install libreoffice-dbg, I hope someone else can do it :(

Fixed with change in unitymenus patch:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=core.git;a=commit;h=dcbb294362cbfb30721defd2096896ed579fa564

updated in packaging with:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-openoffice/libreoffice.git;a=commit;h=6df7a07a759839f60bf0d04dbc92ca3327a94e8d

FFE documentation:

proposed changes:
Checking for a NULL-pointer before derefing. Changes are restricted to libreoffice-gtk package.

rationale:
Leaving out this fix would lead to crashes in a lot of cornercases and lead to dataloss (losing unsaved documents).

[Björn Michaelsen (bjoern-michaelsen)]

addendum:
Testing performed on the package with the changes against 0ubuntu1: No ppa upload, time doesnt allow that. The usual local amd64 pbuilder build and locally installed those packages to verify the crash to be gone when inserting a formula.
