            Bug ID: 140317
           Summary: Nonexistent path in file dialog favorites causes crash
                    when clicked, cannot be removed
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: michael at vonglasow.com

To reproduce:

1. Ensure you are using LibreOffice’s built-in file dialogs, NOT the system
ones.
2. Add an extra drive with a new drive letter (external USB drive should work).
3. Launch any LO application, open a file dialog and add a path on the external
drive as a favorite.
4. Remove the external drive.
5. Try to remove the favorite referring to the now-removed drive.

Expected result:

An error message that this path is not available, possibly with an option to
remove it from the favorites list, or some other option to remove favorites
even when the path cannot be opened.

Actual result:

Clicking on a favorite with a non-existent drive letter causes a crash.
(Haven’t tried this with a nonexistent path on a valid drive letter; also no
experience on non-Windows OSes that don’t use drive letters.) However, removing
a Favorites entry requires me to select it first, then click the minus sign. I
then get a crash notice, but the file dialog stays on the screen and does not
respond to input, until I kill the task.

Further information:

I tried this on Writer. I don’t remember which other applications I have tried;
probably affects all.
