Non-debug trace from LOv4302.

Problem description: Writer crashes with a bad_alloc when attempting to format an em dash (U+2014).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Writer (new user profile).
2. Enter an em dash. In GNU/Linux I use Unicode entry (CTRL+SHIFT+u+2014) but using Insert > Special Character... and selecting U+2014 has the same effect.
3. Highlight the em dash and select Format > Character.

Current behavior: Application displays std::bad_alloc error dialog in front of partially drawn format character dialog.

Expected behavior: Format character dialog is displayed.

These versions crash:

- Debian 7 x86_64 v4.3.0.2 Build ID: 14ed55896fdfcb93ff437b85c4f3e1923d2b1409
- Crunchbang 11 x86_64 v4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 3fdd4f069d5436cf39708004af7fda8175fbc4c2 (2014-07-09)

This version works as expected:

- Crunchbang 11 x86_64 v4.2.5.2 Build ID: 61cb170a04bb1f12e77c884eab9192be736ec5f5
Operating System: Debian
Version: 4.3.0.2 rc
Last worked in: 4.2.5.2 release

Just for the record, on pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I couldn't reproduce this.

Thanks Julian. I can also confirm that under these versions the problem no longer appears:

- Debian 7 x86_64 v4.3.0.3 Build ID: 08ebe52789a201dd7d38ef653ef7a48925e7f9f7
- Crunchbang 11 x86_64 v4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 4aa9b041de3129f19b48e66d349f48657b73f33e (2014-07-19)

It appears to have been fixed. I had a quick through the changes between v4.3.0.2 and v4.3.0.3 but nothing jumped out at me. I am therefore setting this report to RESOLVED as WORKSFORME.
