--- Comment #5 from Laura <lauraelina at gmail.com> ---
Hello everyone,

I managed to reproduce a file that creates/carries the issue I've had recently,
and I've attached it.

The file is from a CAT tool (Computer-Assisted Translation) called Wordfast
(this particular version is Wordfast Pro 5) and the file is a bilingual report
used for reviewing; I use that sometimes for spellcheck, and I have installed
an add-on called Voikko (for Finnish) in LibreOffice.

As you can see, the file is full of "comments" - those are for the glossary
matches, i.e. (in case you don't know) you can add glossaries/terminologies to
the CAT tools and when you translate, the program suggests you preferred
translations for certain words.

So all those color-highlighted words/expressions on the left column are present
in the glossary that I should follow and on the right the text shows if and how
much I have followed the glossary (I now added some obvious ones to the
glossary just to create the effect for this test).

So:

1) If I try to open that file as it is now, LibreOffice crashes.

2) If I remove the "comments" in MS Office and then open the file in
LibreOffice, it opens just fine.

3) If I open the file on my Mac, that has the version 4.2.6003 of LibreOffice,
the file opens without any issues - but it doesn't have the "comments" in it
(which I wouldn't need anyway).

Let me know if you need some further information on this.

Many thanks,
Laura
