LibreOffice writer comments cause NeoOffice to crash

Handyman · June 20, 2013, 9:54pm

NeoOffice crashes when attempting to open any LibreOffice writer document which contains a comment.

Is this a known issue?

To recreate:

Create a new LibreOffice document (v4.0.3.3 or v4.1.0.0 beta 1–Mac OS X)
Add a comment
Close LibreOffice
Open the document in NeoOffice (v3.3 patch 7–current version)
NeoOffice crashes every time.

To fix the document:

Remove comments using LibreOffice Writer
Accept changes (if change tracking was on)
Save document
Document will now open in NeoOffice

This can be LibreOffice problem if not generating correct document or/and NeoOffice problem if not handling document correctly. Despite that in my humble opinion every crash is also a bug, so reporting a bug to NeoOffice is what you should do in any way. I suggest to also report a bug to LibreOffice and if possible attach the document.
