            Bug ID: 109253
           Summary: FONT NAME list: Scrolling through the list causes a
                    crash. "Bad allocation" error message
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.0.1 rc
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: johnhardy at johnhardyco.com

Open LibreOffice Writer. Open a new Writer document. Scroll through the list of
fonts in the FONT NAME list. It crashes. There is a "LibreOffice 5.4 - Fatal
Error. Bad allocation" error message much of the time. Sometimes there is a
Windows error message that LibreOffice has stopped working and Windows is
searching for a cause.

It seems to be scroll-speed related. If I scroll very slowly with the scroll
wheel on my mouse (one or two clicks per second), it does not crash. If I use
the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN buttons at one button-press per second to scroll, it
does not crash. But anything significantly faster than that will cause a crash.
Using the scroll bar will cause a crash.

Your results will probably vary. But it crashes under what I consider
normal-use situations. If I have done considerable typing after the last
auto-save and before the crash, considerable work is lost.

I did not experience this prior to the 5.4 betas. The last three 5.4 beta
versions that I tried have this problem.

Thank you.
