            Bug ID: 143412
           Summary: The texmaths extension makes LibO 7.2RC1 crash
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.0.1 rc
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: framework
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: sergio.callegari at gmail.com

Description:
Trying to use the texmaths extension makes LibO 7.2RC1 crash.

>From my understanding there is no guarantee for extensions to keep working when
a new major release of LibO comes out because some interfaces may be changed or
removed.  Still, an extension should never make the whole application crash,
IMHO.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the texmaths extension
2. Assure that you have LaTeX installed (e.g. via the TexLive or some other TeX
distro or through your linux distribution, etc.)
3. Properly configure texmaths so that it can find the required LaTeX
components (i.e., set up the paths of LaTeX, XeLaTeX, dvipng, dvisvgm
correctly)
4. Start up draw or impress (but writer should also work)
5. Press the button to insert a texmath equation
6. Write x (the letter x) as the expression
7. Press the LaTeX or XeLaTeX button


Actual Results:
Libreoffice crashes

Expected Results:
Libreoffice should not crash. It can be acceptable for the extension to
misbehave (the extension may need porting to the new major version of LibO),
but the application should not crash.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
