Re: [libreoffice-users] Impress: Crash when accessing Slide Master

At least in my case, the crash does not occur if using a new profile, so 
it seems to be considered "not a bug" and closed. Shame they didn't wait 
for your feedback as well. Something must have happened for the profile 
to get into that state though. I've tracked the faulty line in my 
profile down to one which appears to be related to sidebar state. Given 
that the sidebar is relatively new, I wonder if this has resulted from a 
profile created in an older version of LibreOffice not being entirely 
compatible with the newer version following an upgrade...

If you have time to muck around with different versions (unfortunately I 
don't at the moment), it might be worth trying to create a new profile 
in an older version. I don't know whether entries in the profile are all 
created on first launch, or only as first needed, so may be necessary in 
that older version to go through the steps of opening the Slide 
Transition sidebar and set view to slide master. Close that older 
version, and then use that profile in 5.3.0 and see if the crash occurs. 
If it does, I'd be inclined to report that as a bug on the basis that 
the profile data isn't migrated correctly.

Mark.
