LOW keeps crashing when resizing windows

Last weekend, I installed a completely new PC after my old one had died of heat stroke. Everything on the computer works fine, with the exception of LibreOffice.

When I try to open a document in Writer, everything seems to work all right, but— as soon as I try to resize the Writer window, or more to the point: when I move the mouse over the outline of the window so that the mouse cursor turns into the “resize” double arrow, Writer stops responding for a few seconds and then simply closes itself down. I have tried editing that file for five minutes or so without a crash, but upon trying to resize the window again, it crashed again. The file restoration even was able to restore the changes I had made. It even happens when I try resizing a completely new document’s window

I have scoured the web for possible solutions: disabling ska, resetting the – new – user profile, disabling all hardware acceleration, I even disabled anti-aliasing. It still keeps crashing…

Does anyone have any idea what I could still try? My system is as follows: Windows 11 German, fully updated, LO 7.2.6.2 (installed as the last “assuredly stable” version after the most recent 7.3.2 showed the same behaviour), both German, all hardware acceleration options - including anti-aliasing - turned off. AMD A10 cpu, 16 GB memory…
Any help would be greatly appreciated

A new computer. Try updating the graphics driver. Sometimes a newer driver is listed on the computer builder’s web site that updating from the computer doesn’t find.

Did you get any errors during the installation of LibreOffice?

The default behavior in Windows 11 for Start menu - Power - Power Off is to write current state to hard drive and hibernate. This can be changed.
To reboot computer click Start menu - Power - Restart. Restarting might be an answer

It seems that Windows 11 doesn’t like non-standard resolutions. In Start menu > Settings > Display > Scale stick to Recommended or 100%, see Windows 11 Explorer Crashing When Hovering Over Snap Layout - Stack Overflow

If you have an external monitor, stay at 16:9 aspect ratio according to Windows 11 Freezes or Crashes Randomly? Here’s How to Fix It!

I tried it, but even at a zoom of 100%, a resolution of 2560x1440 (16:9), and minimal software load, LibreOffice crashes after a few seconds - by now, even if no files are displayed :frowning: As this is the only software that takes exception to my computer, I have to admit I’m thinking of moving to another software… It happens even in safe mode, and my graphics drivers are maually updated since yesterday, as well.

Maybe try Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View and enabling Skia again but also tick Force Skia software rendering but although that helped a minor issue on a computer here, I don’t know that it would address the issue you are facing.

You could report it as a bug, How to Report Bugs in LibreOffice - The Document Foundation Wiki

Have you tried restarting LibreOffice in safe-mode? (Help>Restart in Safe Mode…)
