Description Matthias Seidel 2017-02-25 10:12:16 UTC 
Writer crashes when splitting tables with "Copy Heading".

Steps to reproduce:

 - Open new Text Document
 - Insert table with "Table|Insert|Table...
 - Take the default values and click OK
 - Select the first two rows
 - Right click into selection and choose "Split Table"
 - Take the default values (Copy heading) and click OK

Writer crashes

The crash does not occur when the table is split without selection by right clicking in the second row and then selecting "Split Table".
It does not occur with other settings than "Copy heading"

I forgot:

My OS is Ubuntu 16.04.2 (64bit)

I can't reproduce it under Windows.
Comment 2 mroe 2017-02-25 10:56:01 UTC 
Can't reproduce it under Ubuntu 14.04 64bit with given steps.
Comment 3 jolatt 2017-03-04 09:00:59 UTC 
Same behaviour with AOO 4.1.4 and German langpack form AOO 4.1.3 independent of the selected UI.

This crash is a bug. But you should consider that a writer table can't be split horizontally. And there is this case no message.
Comment 5 Matthias Seidel 2017-03-04 10:10:46 UTC 
It can be split horizontally without problem if you choose the second row...

But of course, the question is if the option should even be presented when selecting the first row.

So it is kind of logical/technical bug.

Are you sure? Tables side by side?

I can't split a table horizontally neither with AOO 4.14. under Ubuntu  nor with AOO 4.1.3 under Windows 10.

Another behaviour: I select the second row or a higher one -> no split, no crash
And after this I select the first row -> no split, no crash

It seems that the crash only happens, whnen the  first row will beselected at first.

"Table side by side" would be vertical split (in my opinion...)

But yes, it seems to occur only when the first row (or even column) is selected first. Sometimes I have to repeat the steps to get the crash.

I've tested it again – no crash. Maybe this is special for Ubuntu 16.x like issue 126980?

Maybe it is. I will put up a VM and install 14.04 to test it.

It is now confirmed in Ubuntu 16.04, 16.10 and Debian 9 (64bit).
I can not reproduce it on Windows or xubuntu 16.04 (32bit).
Comment 10 Matthias Seidel 2017-03-04 19:20:12 UTC 
I can confirm: No crash under Ubuntu 14.04 (64bit)
