Bug#714420: libreoffice-writer: libreoffice crashes X server when printing "form letters" to individual PDF files
Package: libreoffice-writer
Version: 1:4.0.3-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
As per my earlier bug report on LibreOffice-base not recognizing dBASE files, I saved a dBASE
file as a spreadsheet and used that to drive a form letter - a one page certificate to be
e-mailed to people listed in the spreadsheet. The files were named as per their e-mail address
so I can use the file name in a bash script to do the mailing.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
When the spreadsheet column was EMAIL,C,50 X would crash while preparing the second PDF. When
I changed it to EMAIL,C,40 after trying it a couple times with the original heading, I managed
to get to the 14th PDF when X crashed.
I'm not sure why the database column width should have any impact. Perhaps it was just a
coincidence.
I was doing this sort of thing a lot before upgrading to Jessie and never had any problems.
