Thanks Rick,
Tried the "libreoffice --writer --nostore" command and got:
That should have been "--norestore", not "--nostore"
Application Error
Fatal exception: Signal 6
Hmmm, a SIGABRT. Weird.
I assume you don't want to see all the stack info.
I have checked the logs as you suggested, and there is some material
there, but I do not know how to interpret it. I assume you don't want to
see the grep output here.
Uhm, no, don't post them here. You could stick them in pastebin or
something and post a link to it here. Those interested (and smarter than
I) could then look at it.
I have submitted bug reports to bugzilla.
Good. I suspect they'll report "cannot duplicate", but who knows?
Thanks very much for the time and attention.
It's annoying, I know. I had issues where documents written with
LibreOffice and exported from it to Word format couldn't be re-imported
by LibreOffice. Never did get that sorted. Had to open them with Word
on a Mac, then save them, then copy them back to the Linux machine. THEN
they could be re-imported. Absolutely looney.
