--- Comment #16 from Roman Eisele <bugs at eikota.de> 2012-04-17 07:32:44 PDT ---
[REPRODUCED] this (or a very similar bug) on MacOS X 10.6.8 German with the
current master build: LOmaster 3.6.0alpha0+, Build ID: 55823d3 (installation
file:
master~2012-04-14_05.23.05_LibO-Dev_3.6.0alpha0_MacOS_x86_install_en-US.dmg).

All circumstances are very similar to bug 40359, and the report created by
MacOS X for the crash (I will attach it) is nearly identical to the one created
for bug 40359.

What I did:
1) Download the current master build (see above) and the US English langpack.
2) Delete any previous LibreOffice/LOdev installation.
3) Install the current release and, immediately after that, install the US
English langpack.
   NB: Do NOT install any additional dictionaries, extensions, etc.
4) Delete any LibreOffice related stuff (settings etc.) in
~/Library/Application Support/LOdev/ (the complete folder) and in
~/Libray/Preferences/ (I found two files with names starting with
org.libreoffice...).
5) Start LOdev.app
6) In the Start centre, select 'Spreadsheet'.
7) An empty spreadsheet appears; select cell A1.
8) Select 'Format > Cell ...'
9) The dialog appears; all dialog panes are accessible, everything seems OK.
10) Click 'OK' (without changing anything).
11) Quit LOdev. Note that the folder at ~/Library/Application Support/LOdev/ is
created again.
12) Start LOdev.app, the 2nd time now.
13) In the Start centre, select 'Spreadsheet' again.
14) An empty spreadsheet appears; select cell A1.
15) Select 'Format > Cell ...', the 2nd time now.
16) Expeced: eveything should be like in Step 9.
    Result: Depending on the fact which pane was open when you closed the
dialog the last time, LOdev will either crash immediately (if you had selected
the 2nd pane, 'Font'), or it will CRASH as soon as you click on 'Font' to open
the 2nd pane of the dialog.

I can repeat steps 4 to 12 again and again:
Everytime I delete the complete folder at ~/Library/Application Support/LOdev/
first, LOdev will show the 'Font' pane of the Format Cell dialog again, but if
then I quit and restart LOdev and try to access the 'Font' pane of the Format
Cell dialog once more, LOdev crashes again.

>From the similarity with bug 40359, I conclude that the problem is not within
the font selection controls on the 'Font' pane, but in the 'Language' popup
menu at the bottom of the 'Font' pane: this popup menu is involved both in bug
40359 and in this present bug.

This is either the same or a new, but very similar bug. I did not notice this
behaviour before with LibreOffice on MacOS X. Either there has something
changed in Master (then this would be a new, but very similar bug), or the
reason may be related to the fact that this time I have only installed the US
English help pack, no German or other help pack, and that the Language of the
user interface is still US English, while the OS language is German ...
