            Bug ID: 135468
           Summary: Mac's Built in dictation while inserting comments
                    causes crash.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
When I use the built-in dictation on my 2020 MacBook Air(hit function button
twice to dictate) while adding a comment, it  causes a crash. This only happens
if I hit the dictate button multiple times in the same comment and it only
happens if I am dictating a longer sentence.

To replicate you would have to insert a comment, then dictate the first few
words of the comment and then stop. Then hit the dictate function button again
and dictate for more than 10 or 15 seconds.  And then libre office will lock
up.

If that doesn't work, try dictating three times, and then try talking for even
longer the second and third time.

I haven't tested this, but it doesn't appear to be related to the length of the
first dictation session. I can write as long as I want as long as I don't allow
Dictation to pause. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Add comment
2. 2020 MacBook Air should have the ability to take dictation when you hit the
function key twice
3. Dictate a brief sentence
4. Pauses and allow Dictation to end
5. Dictate a longer sentence. Talk for 10 or 20 seconds and the program should
lock up.
6. If this doesn't work pause and allow Dictation to end. It might be locking
up after this pause.
7. If it works twice, sometimes a third time will crash it. Talked for even
longer. It seems like the more times dictation is initiated the more likely it
is to lock up especially when the sentences run long. 

Actual Results:
Now that I am attempting to re-create it, I can't get it to happen again.

Maybe it only happens when commenting on larger documents?

But I've had libre office lock up and must be restarted four times already in
the last five days because of this, so there must be a way to reproduce it.

Expected Results:
I get a little hourglass indicator which then turns into the spinning color
wheel that Macs have. Then I have to force a shut down. How much point I'm
usually able to recover half of my work from the day, but not everything from
the last save point


Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
