This Bug is reproducible even with an empty spreadsheet.

What to do to reproduce: Open LobreOffice Calc, Create new spreadsheet. In the bottom subsheets-tabs bar, drag and drop the "Sheet1"-Tab between "Sheet2" and "Sheet3" (sort).

What happens: LO dies silently.

What should happen: LO should not die. The new order of the sub-spreadsheets should read "Sheet2", "Sheet1", "Sheet3".

memartin, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report for LibreOffice is missing. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer. One may execute at the Terminal:
Sudo service apport start force_start=1

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

Now open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit.
If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

As in #2 I can easily reproduce this. Using 3.4.3-3ubuntu2 from oneric.

Simply resizing the worksheets-tabs slot, without even moving the tabs will crash calc for me! You have to be sure to save your work before renaming or touching the worksheet tabs in any way because it could cause Calc to die at any second.

Very annoying indeed! If you use more than one worksheet in a workbook, then this bug renders Calc almost unusable!
