== SRU rationale == [Impact] Writer will crash when opening documents needing -base-core components (e.g. form controls), causing possible data loss for all other opened documents.
[Development Fix] The fix has been developed by Rene Engelhard at Debian, which is also affected by this. [Stable Fix] The fix has been reviewed and cherry-picked to the ubuntu-precise-3.5 branch by Bjoern Michaelsen. [Test Case] see description: Open test document.
