Re: [libreoffice-users] Instability problem in CALC

Hi :)
The instructions at
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
help you get more information from your system.  Strace and whatnot
(as Amiko Kauderer at NASA says)

The simplest way to get info is to run LibreOffice from a
command-line.  So open a command-line, perhaps by using
Ctrl T
and then type in

soffice

I would then open the spreadsheet by grabbing it with a mouse and drag
it onto the splash-screen, around the edges where its a bit
grey-background rather than in the middle white area.  You could use
File - Open
or back when you were on the command-line maybe could have typed in
the path-name/file-name but that's all getting tooo fancy so i'd
click&drag.

Take care NOT to close the command-line's little window or it will
close LibreOffice for you.  When LO crashes the command-line should
show some interesting reports about what happened.  many programs
allow you to run with a -v to get more verbose output

soffice -v

might not work but it might be worth trying just to see.

Remember you can't copy and paste to/from the command-line using the
normal keyboard shortcuts but mouse paste always works (or add Shift
into the usual keyboard combo)
Regards from
Tom :)
