I do not use gnome desktop but xfce ..
I notice your flags have -gtk +gtk3. My flags defaulted to +gtk +gtk3. I wonder if the problems are having both gtk and gtk3 enabled. These problems started for me on first use of 5.0 series. Never a problem with 4.3 or earlier.
I switch to gtk3 only as gtk(2) and gtk3 are different enough that they have to carefully isolated to work together .. (xfce is in middle of switching) so I chose to turn off gtk once full gtk3 support was announced .. no problems with any of the 5.*.*.* versions preceeding either

Sorry, it's kinda difficult to diagnose anything without debug info and a backtrace. So it would be great if... https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces Be warned though, the LO build with debug info needs a LOT of disk space, so no tmpfs for building and make sure there's at least 25G free on /var/tmp/portage...
I will try to get to the debugging next weekend. In the meantime lets see if anyone else is seeing anything like me. I am not sure how many gnome-3.16 users compile LO from source
(In reply to Harris Landgarten from comment #6) > I will try to get to the debugging next weekend. In the meantime lets see if > anyone else is seeing anything like me. I am not sure how many gnome-3.16 > users compile LO from source Well, I just spent a few hours to recompile libreoffice with different USE flag combinations, and the results are as follows: 1. both gtk and gtk3 enabled: Writer is highly unstable, just the same as Harris mentioned. 2. gtk disabled while gtk3 enabled: same as above. 3. gtk enabled while gtk3 disabled: seems everythin goes well.
Since you're seeking user reports (and this bug is still "unconfirmed") I may chime in: On my current x86_64 system (~amd64) keyworded, I observed the same problems. In addition to the screen update problem and instability in writer, another quite effective way to crash LO was to copy, in calc, a cell and then try to switch to a different sheet in the same file. In summary, LO was utterly unusable. I downgraded to LO-4 until I found this bug report. I can report that disabling gtk3 (I have +eds +gnome +gtk) fixes all issues I had. I've seen a patch in LO master making sure that gtk calls are issued from the main thread. Can't find it right now; it's not yet included in the 5.0.2.1 prerelease, which shows the same bugs here with +gtk3.
I wonder if the bad interaction involves the gnome USE flag as I run a "pure gtk3" i.e. +gtk3 -gtk -gnome -kde .. etc as above (comment 1) I have never had a crash with libreoffice 5 series even in beta ..(rc's)
(In reply to timemars from comment #7) > 1. both gtk and gtk3 enabled: Writer is highly unstable, just the same as > Harris mentioned. > 2. gtk disabled while gtk3 enabled: same as above. ok, here's a suggestion for some additional info: please, * install sys-process/lsof * start writer in one of the "unstable" configurations * add here in the bug the output of the following command: lsof|grep '^soffice'|grep ' /usr/lib'|sed -e 's:^.* /usr/::g'|sort
Data point for your consideration: libreoffice-5.0.1.2 with USE="bluetooth branding cups dbus eds gnome gstreamer gtk gtk3 java jemalloc kde mysql postgres". I am using it under gnome3. Everything is stable.
(In reply to Alexandre Rostovtsev from comment #11) > Everything is stable. Stable in the sense that libreoffice works without segfaults. The system itself is ~amd64.
https://www.mail-archive.com/libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org/msg279094.html This upstream bug shows the crash. I think it has already been patched. I think it is a bug in clipboard conflicts with outside clipboard handling code. I do use parcelite which could be contributing to the bug. The mishandling of display text could be related. At any rate this is a real bug that is known to upstream
5.0.2.2 now displays properly with gtk3 flag but writer still crashes on selection of text block and deletion with parcelite running.
this bug is reported fixed in 5.0.3 See if we can get that in the tree.
(In reply to Harris Landgarten from comment #15) > this bug is reported fixed in 5.0.3 > > See if we can get that in the tree. Sure, as soon as it exists. :) I talked to Debian and SuSE maintainers and in both cases the 5.0 gtk3 frontend is completely removed because it's too unstable. It also seems that the used graphics card plays a role, which is why some people see no problems at all. I'm keeping the gtk3 useflag available for ~arch users, but (should 5.0 get stabilized) it will be hard-masked in the stable version.
Let's drop the stable mask with the first 5.2 stabilization.
Gtk3 works fine with current ~arch releases.
(In reply to Harris Landgarten from comment #18) > Gtk3 works fine with current ~arch releases. Excellent, mask will be gone with next stable then
Please remember to fix bug 593514 first :) Thanks!
