Description Flagg 2023-12-06 19:41:59 UTC
Description:
When I use the mouse left button to hold and move page scroller bar located on the right side of the page at a quick speed, it causes the page to freeze and then LibreOffice crashes and shuts down the software. When I reopen LibreOffice it gives me the notice that LibreOffice was shutdown prematurely and do I want to open a saved copy. I answer yes and all copies that were previously open now open again and work properly until I use the scroll bar at high speed next time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a previously prepared LibreOffice Writer document. 
2. CLick the left button of the mouse on the page scroller bar. 
3. Hold the button down and scroll very quickly from page 1 to page 15

Actual Results:
The page will immediately freeze up then the Writer document will crash and close on its own.

Expected Results:
Scroll very quickly to the bottom of the document without freezing and crashing.


Reproducible: Always

I think you might be experiencing bug 149527.
Please try the following:
1) turn "Force Skia software rendering" on in Tools ▸ Options ▸ LibreOffice ▸ View, restart LO and see if you can still reproduce the issue. If the issue is gone, sounds like bug 149527.
2) Update to version 7.6: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/
It would be great if you could confirm that the issue is fixed in 7.6, even with "Force Skia software rendering" off (i.e. with "Skia/Vulkan" in your About dialog)

Thank you!
