Description: Once I've tried to open one docx document LibreOffice Writer has begun crashing. Other LO components (Calc etc) worked fine. I've renamed registrymodifications.xcu and LO started to work fine again. I've saved old ones, but wouldn't like to upload it here in the public area. I can send it to email to someone. Steps to Reproduce: replace your registrymodifications.xcu and try to launch. Actual Results: crash Expected Results: no crash Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Linux Mint 18, kernel 4.4 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 Safari/537.36
Hello Yan, Thank you for reporting the bug. Please attach a sample document, as this makes it easier for us to verify the bug. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the requested document is provided. (Please note that the attachment will be public, remove any sensitive information before attaching it. See https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FAQ#How_can_I_eliminate_confidential_data_from_a_sample_document.3F for help on how to do so.)
You don't want to attach your docx file, your buggy registrymodifications.xcu or both? About registrymodifications.xcu, could you "tidy format" it and compare it with a brand new registrymodifications.xcu ?

Could you please try to reproduce it with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ ? You can install it alongsidethe standard version. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the master build
this config file works ok even with LO 5.1 on clear virtualbox. I guess that crash depends not only on this xml. 5.4 also works fine
Could you try getting a backtrace of the crash by downloading and extracting http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@70-TDF-dbg/current/ and running program/soffice --backtrace Requirement is you have gdb installed The Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@70-TDF-dbg package includes debug symbols, but otherwise these instructions apply: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information
Setting to NEEDINFO until we get feedback from the reporter

And after I open > writer I see bibliography dialog I showed it in IRC and a dev commented: that looks like a LibreOffice vs LibreOfficeDev mismatch user changed some color settings when using LibreOffice, then copied the registrymodifications.xcu over to a LibreOfficeDev installation?

(Those warnings mentioning "unknown item "/org.openoffice.Office.UI/ColorScheme/ColorSchemes/org.openoffice.Office.UI:ColorScheme['LibreOffice']/" look like they are caused by copying a registrymodifications.xcu from a LibreOffice to a LibreOfficeDev installation. Whatever color setting modifications you made in the former will not be there in the latter, but otherwise those warnings are harmless.)
As Yan cannot repro the crash anymore and the warnings are harmless and expected, I will close as WFM.
