[SOLVED] LibreOffice Writer crashes

Hello,

LibreOffice Writer crashes without any messages or crash dumps. Made 'pacman -Syu' 30 mins ago, rebooted, and it keeps crashing. Steps to reproduce the bug:

1. Start Writer
2. Type 'ddddddd'
3. Press Spacebar
4. Writer closes.

Office version:

Version: 5.1.0.3
Build ID: 5.1.0.3 Arch Linux build-1
CPU Threads: 1; OS Version: Linux 4.4; UI Render: default;
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8)

Arch: i686

Can someone reproduce this behaviour?

Re: [SOLVED] LibreOffice Writer crashes

As something that probably isn't it: do you have any hunspell dictionaries installed?  Like "hunspell-en"?  Perhaps when you type all the letter d's and then press space it tries to look it up in a dictionary you might not have?  I'd be surprised if that was it though.

Re: [SOLVED] LibreOffice Writer crashes

Search for 'hunspell' in packages returned this:

[al ~ ]$ pacman -Qs hunspell
local/hunspell 1.3.4-1
    Spell checker and morphological analyzer library and program

Turning off all spellchecking has solved the problem. Thanks for the advise.
