Description of problem: Crash when setting: Extras>Optionen>Spracheinstellungen>Sprachen (=Tools>Options>Language_settings>Languages). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-2.3.0-6.11.el5_4.1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.ooffice 2. Extras>Optionen>Spracheinstellungen>Sprachen Actual results: Crash Expected results: Not a crash Additional info: Found problem on three machines under a different login
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.
I removed ~/.openoffice.org2.0 but the error is still there.
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
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.
Was there a crash report dialog with crash stack information in it ?, I would have expected there to be one.
Created attachment 361922 [details] stack trace I try again to attach the stack trace
Created attachment 361938 [details] 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.
dtardon->wlietz: Could you supply us with result of rpm -qa | grep fonts ?
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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 457656 ***
