Bug ID: 169703
Summary: EDITING: Writer freezes when IME input, paragraph
style changing, and undo/redo operations are used in
succession
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
If shortcuts CTRL+[numbers] for changing paragraph styles to headings are
activated during an IME (input method for CJK), undo and redo actions can
induce a crash.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Microsoft Zhuyin input method (微軟注音).
2. Open a Writer document
3. Using Zhuying (shown as 中 ㄅ in the left corner of OS taskbar), press the
following keys on your keyboard: "fm4su06", then hit Enter. You should see the
ideographs "去年" appear in the document.
4. Using Zhuying, press the following keys: "rup[Space]b4". You should see the
ideographs "今日" with a dotted underline. Do NOT hit Enter to confirm the input.
5. Press CTRL+1 to change the paragraph style to Heading 1. Do NOT press Enter.
6. Hold CTRL+Z until the document is reverted to blank.
7. Hold CTRL+Y. Writer freezes.
Actual Results:
Writer freezes after a series of undos and redos.
Expected Results:
Writer should not freeze after the redos.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
1. This bug was present in LibreOffice 24.2, but I couldn't find specific steps
to reproduce it until I upgraded to 25.8. Because the specific version number
of my 24.2 build is unclear, I chose the latest version of 24.2 for "Version
(earliest affected).
2. Info for the current version I am using (Help - About LibreOffice):
Version: 25.8.3.2 (X86_64)
Build ID: 8ca8d55c161d602844f5428fa4b58097424e324e
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 26100); UI render: Skia/Raster;
VCL: win
Locale: zh-TW (zh_TW); UI: zh-TW
Calc: threaded
3. Only Zhuyin input method was tested. It is unclear whether other input
methods (Japanese, Pinyin, etc...) induce a crash.
4. The steps given above are an attempt to recreate similar freezes I observed.
During fast typing, I sometimes unintentionally press the shortcut keys for
heading application, attempt to revert the change with CTRL+Z out of reflex,
and find that Writer has frozen. Sadly, the given steps in this report is the
only way I found that reliably causes a freeze.
