dtardon->wlietz: It doesn't crash here with openoffice.org-2.3.0-6.12.el5.x86_64. I tried it in english, german and czech localizations, but all are OK. Maybe your configuration is damaged: move ~/.openoffice.org2.0 away and try again.

Comment 2 Lietz 2009-09-21 10:28:10 UTC

I removed ~/.openoffice.org2.0 but the error is still there.

Comment 3 David Tardon 2009-09-21 11:11:33 UTC

dtardon->wlietz: Does it crash immediately after you click on Sprachen? Does it crash in other localizations too? You can check it in English localization by starting writer (or whatever else) from a terminal, like:

LC_ALL=C oowriter

Comment 4 Lietz 2009-09-21 11:25:22 UTC

When go to the language setting it crash immediatly.
I can started the program with locale C, en_US and Posix and it looked ok.
To change from kde to gnome made no difference.

Comment 5 Caolan McNamara 2009-09-21 11:57:20 UTC

Was there a crash report dialog with crash stack information in it ?, I would have expected there to be one.

Comment 6 Lietz 2009-09-21 12:55:56 UTC

stack trace

I try again to attach the stack trace

Comment 7 David Tardon 2009-09-21 13:38:50 UTC

mapped stack

So, if I understand the stack correctly, there is some weird character in one of the listboxes (probably Currency: it's full of weird characters) on the Language tab that is not available in the used font. That causes fallback lookup and that causes a crash deep in libIcu.

Comment 8 David Tardon 2009-09-21 13:39:58 UTC

dtardon->wlietz: Could you supply us with result of

rpm -qa | grep fonts

?

Comment 9 Caolan McNamara 2009-09-21 13:53:03 UTC

I bet that the Malayalam Font Kartika is installed, if you uninstall that font OOo will no crash. Technically the crash is in icu. Moving to that component.
