[arch-general] Crashing in libreoffice on certain .odp (Impress) files
Yesterday I used libreoffice to present a lecture from 3-4pm. Today morning I tried to open the exact same file and got immediate crashing. 2 of my lecture slides have this problem, 2 do not. In between, I updated to [testing] (this is a new laptop) and did quite a few installs, but none (except the big [testing] update for the /usr/bin move) seem related. See [1]. I have tried deleting ~/.config/libreoffice, to no avail. No error logs that I can see on the terminal (does libreoffice spit out errors anywhere?). Backups of the lecture slides (before small modifications which I may/not have made also exhibited the same behaviour. Googling shows various unrelated (I think) problems which seem to already be fixed in the latest libreoffice, mainly solved by deleting the .config/libreoffice folder (which I've tried). Suggestions please. [1] - http://pastebin.com/P4XE1uea

Just tried loading same files via libreoffice on windows, no issue.

And... I realized there's libreoffice-rpm on the AUR, which gives the same issues. Looks like an upstream bug then, heading to their forums.
