Since I installed M5, by upgrading through Yast all packages from M3 (which in itself was a fresh install), LibreOffice 3.3 brings X (or KDE, I don't know how to discriminate between those in this issue) to a halt, or to be more precise, it gives no reaction to keyboard pressings or mouse movements (mouse pointer stays put on the screen). Tried it several times, same behavior. Also Ctrl-Alt-F1 doesn't help, so I have to ssh from another machine to reboot the system graciously. 

M4 didn't show this behaviour.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start 12.1 M5 and log in as normal user
2.Open LibreOffice
3.
Actual Results:  
LibreOffice starts, but sometimes immediately, sometimes after sing it for a few seconds (!) X crashes

Expected Results:  
LibreOffice starts and is working

A complete Xorg.0.log

This log file is from a later instance of the crash - I tried is several times, and the backtrace I attached yesterday was from an earlier try. But that shouldn't be an issue, since the crash is the same it seems.

Got the flu, so not that active here for a while,,,

After installing 12.1Beta (Xorg 7.6-64.1, LibreOfiice 3.2.4.6-2.1) I can't reproduce this bug. Probably solved?
Comment 5 Jogchum Reitsma 2011-10-01 18:48:00 UTC
Maybe comment 4 was too hastily - X crashed again. But this time I can't connect it to starting/using LibreOffice, but X appeared to be crashed after I left the running system fo a couple of hours.

I'l; attach the Xorg.0.log of that session.

Comment 7 Jogchum Reitsma 2011-10-10 18:35:44 UTC
hmm - now I have the same with 11.4, again after opening LibreOffice. And because LibreOffice always opens again after restart, I'm in an infinite loop myself here, until I can find out how to disable autorestarting LibreOffice.

I'll add the Xorg.0.log

The attached is a trace file from a similar crash of Nouveau.
Comment 11 Colin Walls 2011-10-31 15:47:58 UTC
Some additional information to go with my report.

If I switch off both desktop effects then although I get some scrambling of menus I don't get a crash. 

However if I use an OpenGL screen saver the X server does not seem to be able to determine which areas of the screen have undergone damage and does not repaint the screen properly after the screen saver exits.

If I do not use an OpenGL screen saver then although I get some scrambling of menus I do not get a crash within Nouveau and the X server.
Comment 12 Stefan Dirsch 2014-05-22 12:30:10 UTC
openSUSE 12.1 is no longer supported. Hence the issue won't be fixed for this product. In case the issue still is reproducable with a supported product (openSUSE 12.3/13.1 at the moment) or with openSUSE:Factory, please feel free to reopen. Thanks.
