LibreOffice writer crashes using "Insert" "Special Character"

Hello,

When trying to insert a special character in a document libreoffice writer crashes. There is a notification: " Due to an error, LibreOffice crashed. " This issue has not occured before. Any help or direction of help would be appreciated.

version: libreoffice-still 6.3.6-2,
OS: Arch linux up to date,
Laptop Thinkpad x230

Does this happen in LibreOffice Safe Mode (Help -> Restart in Safe Mode) as well?

@anon73440385 Hi, thanks for reacting. No the problem does’t happen in safe mode. The installation is still as it was after I installed it. No options were changed.

Hello,

aqccording to your Safe Mode-Test response above, it is most likely your LibreOffice user profile being corrupt. Therefore you need to reset to factory settings using the following procedure:

To reset the user profile perform:

  • Start LibreOffice
  • Start in Safe Mode using Help -> Restart in Safe Mode and confirm the restart using button: Restart
  • Archive your profile expanding Advanced (click on the word Advanced right above Help button) and click Archive User Profile button
  • Select option Reset to factory settings
  • Activate [x] Reset entire user profile
  • Click button Apply Changes and Restart

Hope that helps.

@Opague Thanks, your solution worked.
