            Bug ID: 137558
           Summary: Calc doesn't tell you when Encryption Software is
                    missing, it just crashes
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.6.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: bugs.documentfoundation.org at localmotive.com

When encryption software (OpenPGP, etc) went missing from my system, Calc
simply, silently crashed on opening a password-protected file

Somehow, gpg4Win got uninstalled from my PC (don't ask :-)

After this, when I double-clicked a password-protected file, the splash screen
was displayed for a second or so, and then a very quick flash of the Calc
window, then nothing.

I tried just opening Calc, then opening the file from the app, but nothing
happened.

It took me quite a while to figure this out. After repair-installing LO, then
uninstalling and re-installing LO, rebooting multiple times, then trying to
find out what might have changed on my system, only to find the problem was
gpg4win.  After re-installing gpg3win, Calc stopped crashing.

If Calc is having a problem with like this, why doesn't is say so, rather than
just silently crashing? No messages or anything.

Why doesn't the LO installer say something when encryption tools are missing?
Can't it just bundle one of the (free) PGP tools?
