--- Comment #44 from Callegar <sergio.calleg...@gmail.com> ---
The issue is unfortunately still present in LibO 25.2.3.2.

I apologize for appearing insistent, but I would like to urge to have this
issue investigated.

On one hand, it appears unusual for a healthy project to leave a reproducible
crash unaddressed for so long. This issue was introduced at the beginning of
the development of the 24.8 series, most likely more than 1 year ago.
Unfortunately, the issue was not caught early and the change-set that
introduced it was not immediately reverted, with the result that the bug
survived through the whole of the 24.8 series and almost the whole of the the
25.2 series and is now likely to be present in the 25.8 series as well.

On the other hand, this issue is disruptive with respect to the gallery
functionality. The gallery remains usable as a "static" repository, which might
be OK for those who use it based on themes installed as extensions. However, it
is completely broken for those who need to "dynamically" manage some gallery
themes, adding/removing and updating the stored objects. The current breakage
might also end up impairing the maintenance of extensions providing gallery
themes or the development of new ones.

It might be worth making a quick assessment if the "gallery" is a functionality
that can be regarded essential. The current state of it suggests that it might
have not many users. If this is the case, restricting it to a static storage
that can be used only in association to unmodifiable themes provided via
extensions might be a good path to get rid of the crash and would ultimately
take away nothing with respect to the features that LibO users could enjoy
through the last two major releases.
