Confirmed fixed. At least for the example file I used it is working without 
issues.

Yes, that would make a lot of sense.

Actually all crashes are now fixed. Even the long standing PPT problem.

I would expect that quite a few OpenOffice users are still on Windows 7. 
According to estimates there are still around 1-2% of Windows users on Windows 
7 (more than on 8 and 8.1 combined) which converts to around 12-24 million Win 
7 users worldwide.
But the honest answer is, I don't know anyone who still uses Windows 7...

Maybe this one is fixed too? Can you please compile a newer x86 installer?

All the best,
