LibreOffice Impress crashing when saving in other programs

Hi,
since ~1 week, I have a weird problem with LibreOffice Impress. The program crashes often, but not always, when saving documents in other programs (e.g. saving a pdf in Okular, saving a document in Firefox).

Has somebody also seen this weird problem?
LibreOffice: 25.2.1.2
KDE: 6.3.3 with X11

Best wishes,

Michael

I can confirm this, but for me this happens with Calc. I don’t use Impress. This happens under both X11 and Wayland.
Libreoffice 25.2.1.2
KDE 6.3.3 with X11 (or Wayland)

(keep in mind, I’m not on TW)

I assume “saving in other programs” means that you are either:

  1. Doing a “File → Save As” (html, etc), or “File → Export”
  2. Doing a “File → Export as PDF”

I rarely use Impress, but I thought I’d do some testing. I created an Impress (native) document based on a default Template (named Candy). Then I did a Save.

Next, I did a “File → Export as PDF”. No problems, no crashes

Next, I did a “File → Export”, then selected “HTML Document” at the Filter dropdown, then exported. No problems, no crashes.

I did this about 20 more times, no problems, no crashes.

The TO explained clearly that a file saving operation in another program leads to a LibreOffice crash.

@michaelhust and @tos4ever Can you start a LibreOffice app via terminal, reproduce the crash and post the terminal output (if any)?
eg.

libreoffice --impress
libreoffice --calc

There is already a bugreport from another user:
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1240000

I only had one crash today. An upload of a picture in zapzap (whatsapp)
did crash Calc. No sign of any crash output in console nor in other log
files.

Hi,
thanks for your answers.
Today, I have started libreofice from the console and had a look on the output when it crashed (directly, when I tried to save something from Firefox).

The output was:

x@y:~> libreoffice
kf.kio.filewidgets.kfilefiltercombo: KFileFilterCombo::setCurrentFilter: Could not find file filter KFileFilter(MIME patterns: QList() File patterns: QList(“*”) label: “Alle Dateien”)
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile

There seems to be a problem with the KDE file picker?

Best,

Michael

The output after the next crash:
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
kf.kio.filewidgets.kfilefiltercombo: KFileFilterCombo::setCurrentFilter: Could not find file filter KFileFilter(MIME patterns: QList() File patterns: QList(“.odp") label: “ODF-Präsentation (.odp)”)
kf.kio.filewidgets.kfilefiltercombo: KFileFilterCombo::setCurrentFilter: Could not find file filter KFileFilter(MIME patterns: QList() File patterns: QList(".odp”) label: “ODF-Präsentation (.odp)”)

The behavior fits with the indicated bug report (1240000 – Libreoffice calc crashes when QT file chooser closes)
