Highlighting Writer Text in 5.0.4 crashes Writer.

Hi.
Just updated to 5.0.4 in Opensuse and find highlighting (selecting) text in my manuals consistently crashes Writer, I can't practically edit my manuals in 5.0.4.
Downgrading to 4.3 fixes the problem.

Not sure if this is Opensuse specific. Linked document is large (but I couldn't select text to delete it).
Appreciate if someone could test before filing a bug report.
To repeat, go to chapter 4.9. Highlight from the previous paragraph to the word after the heading.

  4.9 RS-485 AND MODbus CONNECTION

For me Writer crashes every time.
Thanks, Steve

hi.
what stable version did you use before?
i did not test 5.0.4 but tested 4.3.7, 5.0.5 and worked great for me.
i use 4.4.6 did you tested and also 5.0.5?
i heard from many users that 5.0.5 is great and stable.

In case it helps, I just tried it in LO 5.0.1.2 under MS Windows and there was no crash.

Nasrin, what operating system were you using?

Thanks for the checking, I use 4.3.7 as the stable.

5.0.5 on win7 is ok.
Possibly this is a bug in the Opensuse version I am running.

Tried all the OpenGL and hardware acceleration settings to no avail.

Found a repository for 5.0.5 on OBS, problem seems to have gone so must have been a problem with Opensuse provided 5.0.4.
Thanks for the checking and getting me to a stable version.
