            Bug ID: 131087
           Summary: Crash on changing text attributes in text box (or
                    other draw objects)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.0.3 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: brian at osdinitiatives.com

Description:
LibreOffice crashes when I try to change the alignment of text in a text box or
other drawing object that can have text attached to it. I can change other
attributes of the text like font/bold/color. It seems specific to Writer as
there is no crash with Impress, Draw, or Calc modules. It is further specific
on the changing of the alignment attribute. I can create a text box (or other
draw object) with center aligned text in Impress, successfully change the
alignment, and copy/paste it into Writer. I can change other properties but if
I try to set it back to the default 'Left Align' it crashes.

I also noticed that applying sub- or super-script crashes Writer (and not the
others). As does the 'Increase/Decrees Font Size' buttons. However, I can
change the font with the drop down selector and 'Set Character Spacing' works.
Changing line spacing also causes a crash. It crashes with or without text in
the box selected vs. having the type bar at the end of the word or without
having typed in anything at all (just the box being open for editing).

Also, the other alignment option are deactivated in the 'Format->Align' menu
and selecting even the checked one, default left for something created in
Writer or one of the other options for an object create in another module
triggers a crash.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. New Writer file
2. Add a text box (or other draw object) to the page
3. Type/select some text in the object (optional)
4. Click the toolbar or side bar button to 'Align Left', 'Center', Align
Right', or 'Justify' Also crashes with 'Increase/Decrees Font Size' and
"Superscript/Subscript'

Actual Results:
Instant crash on the click of the toolbar/sidebar button. Document recovery is
successful.

Expected Results:
Correctly applying the text attribute.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
