Summary: Using old .sxw documents as templates causes
segmentation fault
Severity: major
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.5.6.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Hello,
we have template directories where not only template files (.ott, .sxt) are
stored, but normal text documents (.odt, .sxw) too.
This is because some users find it more comfortable to create and edit normal
documents than using the native template options. This documents are stored in
a directory which is a template directory for other users (only read access).
As of the history there are a lot of files from the old OpenOffice and
therefore with the .sxw file extension.
Now when a user browses this template directory by "new->from templates" and
tries to access such a .sxw file (by clicking on it), LO immediately crashes
with Sig11.
This doesn't happen on on ".odt" nor on ".sxT".
There are currently two workarounds:
1) Open the .sxw file and store it as .odt, .ott or .sxt and delete the .sxw
2) Rename the .sxw manually to .sxt, .ott or .odt
Fortunately LO seems to not care about when a .sxw is renamed to an .odt
There seems to be a bug in the special handling when ordinary old text
documents (.sxw) are opened for the preview pane in the "create from template"
dialog. Doesn't matter if "document properties" or "preview" is selected. Sig11
happens both.
This is valid for: LO from 3.5.x to 3.6.3 (and maybe above).
