Hi :)
The instructions at
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
help you get more information from your system.  Strace and whatnot
(as Amiko Kauderer at NASA says)

The simplest way to get info is to run LibreOffice from a
command-line.  So open a command-line, perhaps by using
Ctrl T
and then type in

soffice

I would then open the spreadsheet by grabbing it with a mouse and drag
it onto the splash-screen, around the edges where its a bit
grey-background rather than in the middle white area.  You could use
File - Open
or back when you were on the command-line maybe could have typed in
the path-name/file-name but that's all getting tooo fancy so i'd
click&drag.

Take care NOT to close the command-line's little window or it will
close LibreOffice for you.  When LO crashes the command-line should
show some interesting reports about what happened.  many programs
allow you to run with a -v to get more verbose output

soffice -v

might not work but it might be worth trying just to see.

Remember you can't copy and paste to/from the command-line using the
normal keyboard shortcuts but mouse paste always works (or add Shift
into the usual keyboard combo)
Regards from
Tom :)

  I have  a fairly large and very complex spreadsheet:

Number of sheets 12
Number of cells 123562
Number of pages 55

size 1.23 Mb

much calculation (typically about 200 cells aren't formulas) and many
array formulas.

[4.0.5.2 on Windows]

Usually, but not always, when I add a formula to this spreadsheet, CALC
crashes saying Calc has an unexpected error and is saving. I can then
recover the spreadsheet and adding the new formula now works. There
appears to be no dump or other information to aid diagnosis.

How can I best report this intermittent bug? (There's nothing sensitive
or private in the spreadsheet.)

David,

You can file a bug report with the spreadsheet attached. Also, you can
post the spreadsheet either with Nabble or elsewhere and provide a link
so others can inspect it.
