Priority: medium
Bug ID: 81084
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: Sort causes crashes
Severity: blocker
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: helplibreoff...@mailcatch.com
Hardware: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: unspecified
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice
Hello. I am an ordinary user and I have never filed a bug report, so please
forgive that I'm probably doing it all wrong.
When I try to sort in LibreOffice Calc, I routinely experience crashes.
Usually, I receive a dialog box stating "unexpected error". Sometimes I get an
"invalid vector <T> subscript". Sometimes I get "The instruction at xxx
referenced memory at yyy. The memory could not be read. Click on OK to
terminate the program.".
I have tried numerous spreadsheets, and I experience different crashes on each
one.
I have asked my manager if I can send you the spreadsheets, but she has
refused.
Most of my testing was on v4.2.4.2, but I have upgraded to v4.2.5.2 and still
experience numerous crashes.
For v4.2.4.2, the "xxx" above is sometimes 0x7c90100b and other times
0x7c9108f3.
I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to isolate the problems, but
there seems to be multiple causes, which is making testing challenging. I
don't have any more time to allocate to this, unfortunately.
What I have concluded is that formatting seems to play a role. I have one
spreadsheet that crashes every time I try to sort. But if I change one column
from center-justified to left-justified, suddenly I can sort without a crash.
I also have concluded that conditional formatting plays a role. When you copy
a row in LO, you wind up with a separate conditional formatting rule for each
row (which probably should be fixed). In a different spreadsheet, if I delete
all that conditional formatting and change it to a single conditional
formatting rule for a range of cells, the sort no longer crashes LibreOffice.
I have tried this on multiple computers and get the same results. I have
verified the SHA-256 and MD5 hashes of LO, and the installation files match.
Unfortunately, we might have to switch away from LO, as we need to sort
reliably without the program crashing.
