LibreOffice crash when I correct the spelling

[Anthony David Atencio Moscote]

Binary package hint: libreoffice

LibreOffice Writer crashes when I use the spellchecker to correct a misspelled word. It happens instantly when I use the right click on the word or the keyboard to open the menu to correct. This happens with a .doc file. The misspelled text in a table is "0.8 g / cm ³". The error is in letter "g".

This happens to me often, randomly wanting to correct anything this close.

It seems to be something related to the IcedTea plugin (and OpenJdk)... I reproduced the bug trying to select a URL address within the document, right click (as if I were about to spell check/correct the thing) and then, presto... A sure crash...

This has happened to me both in Ubuntu (10.04) and Xubuntu (10.04)

Here's the report:

Anthony David Atencio Moscote, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. This is unreproducible using Ubuntu 10.10, LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/718492/+attachment/1848607/+files/termo.doc && lowriter -nologo termo.doc

Highlight 0,8 g/cm³ -> secondary click, no crash.

If you update your PPA from 3.3.0 to 3.3.1 does this issue remain?

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade

If so, it would be very helpful if this can be reproduced in a Natty Live CD environment ( http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ ) as Apport Retracer will pull a lot of data from the crash that developers like to see.

Try with a random new document (it doesn't have to be the document referred on this bug report). On my case, I have been able to reproduce the bug several times (on Lucid, Ubuntu and Xubuntu), on several documents (new or old)

a) Create a new document.
b) Paste a misspelled word, or a URL address.
c) Right click on the misspelled word (or URL address)

The LibreOffice I'm using is the 3.3.1

This is the report from my Xubuntu PC (10.04, LibreOffice 3.3.1

[Mariangela PEtrizzo (petrizzo)]

Hi! I found similar problem as yours in LibreOffice 3 even when I'm
simply editing.

I'm wondering if you can fix it

Thanks in advance

[jgratero (jgratero)]

Could you please specify your LibreOffice version, to help the developers? 3.3.0 or 3.3.1? Also, what version of Ubuntu are you on? Maverick, Lucid..?

[Anthony David Atencio Moscote (draco159)]

This happens to me almost every time I select something that has a misspelled word or URL in it and I make secondary click. But when I disable the spell checker. This does not happen where URL is. I did it in a new document ODT.

I upgrade me PPA to 3.3.2

LibreOffice 3.3.2
OOO330m19 (Build:202)
tag libreoffice-3.3.2.2, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu2~maverick

i am still with error.

[Björn Michaelsen (bjoern-michaelsen)]

Could you try to reproduce the bug with the Sun JRE instead of IcedTea and OpenJDK?

[Anthony David Atencio Moscote (draco159)]

I uninstall OpenJDK and IcedTea plugin. I went to options in the java and chose the option /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun.1.6.0.24/jre. still follow the error.

[Anthony David Atencio Moscote (draco159)]

I can reproduce the error if I select a sentence or paragraph with a URL or a misspelling in it. Also I did it disabling the use of java environment.
