Summary: LibreOffice 25.8.0.4 crashes when opening .docx file
(regression from 25.2.5)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.0.4 release
Hardware: All

Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice

Summary
LibreOffice 25.8.0.4 crashes when opening .docx file (regression from 25.2.5)
Description
After updating LibreOffice on LMDE 6 (Flatpak build) from version 25.2.5.2 to
25.8.0.4, LibreOffice Writer consistently crashes when attempting to open
certain .docx files.
The same .docx files open normally in 25.2.5.2, so this appears to be a
regression introduced in 25.8.
Steps to Reproduce
Install LibreOffice Flatpak on LMDE 6.
Launch LibreOffice Writer.
Attempt to open an attached .docx file (or any similar .docx).
Actual Result
LibreOffice crashes immediately after attempting to load the .docx file.
Expected Result
The .docx file should open normally as it does in LibreOffice 25.2.5.2.
