Description Klaus Kusche 2025-03-05 17:23:51 UTC 
As requested: New bug report for the crashes in bug 950270:

Libreoffice with the gtk4 backend on Xfce with no gtk4 theme:
Several dialogs immediately crash when opened:

* Menu "File", item "Export as PDF"

* Menu "Insert", item "Envelope"

* Menu "Tools", item "Footnote/Endnote settings"

Moreover, whenever I select "Help" / "Libreoffice Help" (F1) or press the "Help" button in any dialog, Libreoffice shows a dialog that help for my language is not available. When closing that dialog, libreoffice also crashes.

All those crashes do *not* happen with the gtk3 LO Backend or the qt6 LO backend.

Sorry, I can't help reproducing the crashes: I no longer have the gtk4 backend compiled into LO, and I no longer have gtk4 installed at all.

But others have reproduced at least the "export PDF" crash, see bug 950270.
