I'm using an AMD A10-7800 APU (Kaveri with R7-category integrated GPU
(GCN)), OS is Ubuntu 16.04 with default drivers.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start LibreOffice.
2. Enable OpenGL rendering via menu Tools -> Options..., then View -> Use
OpenGL for all rendering (on restart).
3. Restart LibreOffice.
4. Open menu Help -> About LibreOffice.
=> Driver will crash, attempt to restart (after screen going dark 1-2
times) and potentially freeze the whole system.
This happens with:
-LibreOffice 5.1.4.2 bundled with Ubuntu 16.04,
-also with 5.2.1.2 distributed by The Document Foundation.
This bug should probably be raised against the driver, but I'm not familiar
with where they are tracked, so raising the issue here, since it seems to
affect a wide range of systems with the default Ubuntu 16.04 installation
(fortunately OpenGL rendering is turned off by default in LibreOffice).
The issue is also tracked in LibreOffice Bugzilla.
Note that the bug was reported in normal state, as it wouldn't have been
possible to do so after the crash.
Let me know if I should supply further details.
