Libre 4.0 writer crashes ALOT running on MAC OSX.7.4

I am running Libre Office 4.0 on MAC OSX.7.4 and using writer for text documents. I save often, but I find that Libre crashes at least every couple hours. The data is always recovered, but of course, not the changes I made after my last save. I have submitted a problem report for LibreOffice, but no help yet.

I’m simply typing sentences and paragraphs, no charts, no calculations etc… But I do notice that sometimes, as I’m typing a weird character will appear, maybe Japanese? and then disappear as I continue to type.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is this a Java problem?
Does anyone have a fix, cause it is really annoying.

Thanks!

Hi, LO 4.0.1.2 is crashing fairly frequently (2-3 times per day) for me on OSX 10.7.5. Most recent appeared to be when I was typing rapidly. Crash report attached. Thanks!

Hi @jbushey,

You mentioned filing a bug already – could you please provide a link to it?

It sounds like you’re running one of the latest builds. If you’re not yet on LO 4.0.1, it wouldn’t hurt to try the latest release.

If you can find some steps that will reproduce a crash that could really help us, although it sounds like you’re just experiencing sporadic crashes, eh?

Thanks!

I will try updating to 4.0.1, but I agree with kbares/user that the crash happens when I type fast. Also I noticed that when I am typing I sometimes see (very briefly) a Japanese or maybe Chinese character in my line of text. It disappears quickly and doesn’t always signal a crash. I should clarify that I am typing in English. I apologize for not attaching the bug report. I will the next time it crashes.

Ok. it just happend again. I was working in Writer with 2 different documents open, but only typing into one of them. I typed a word, hit the back space/delete a couple times and then started to type again. CRASH. I can’t figure out how to attach my crash report to this interface? help.

@jbushey – I’m not seeing a link to the bug report. Could you please try again?

Thanks!

Sorry but I cannot understand how to attach/link my file to this forum. I hit link and I see an orange flashing page. I’ve searched the forum for instructions on how to link a crash report and found nothing.

@jbushey, Please attach the crash report to a bug report on Bugzilla. Here’s the link to file a bug

@jbushey – if you’re having trouble with the BSA (Bug Submission Assistant), please try to submit a bug directly to Bugzilla at this link

ok. here is the link to the bug report: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62619 i named it fileopen, but that isn’t really accurate. i attached the Apple crash report in the bug.

i just added another crash report to the bug report i created. hopefully that will help the developers solve what is going on.

I don’t see any Chinese characters, but my Lib Writer keeps crashing too.

Here’s my crash report:

@annebl – Please post crash reports as comments/attachments on the bug report fdo#62619.

Thanks!

I have checked bug reports and I see bug reports are different (diff) and also appearing different errors and also at different LibreOffice version. I think the best way is to open a new bug report, attach crash reports and in post message write that behavior is very similar (the same) as bug 62619. Then administrators of bug system will check if this is the same problem and if yes make links of duplicate bugs. I think posting several bug reports with different problem makes mess in bug reports.

This is not a solution to your problem, but to minimize data lost, do the following (you know problem may not be solved soon, but you get annoying data losts):

Tools | Options | Load/Save. Make sure “Save AutoRecovery information” is checked and try lowering the default 15 minutes to 5 minutes or less.

You can also check the “Always create a backup copy” to make extra save every save action.
