I think the key to reproducing this must be step 5.  I think they may
have recently published or revised instructions on how to use the
contour editor.

In any case, to reproduce this, do not double click at step 4.  And it
would be REALLY helpful if someone would try this and actually reply.

Title:
  Contour Editor crashes login session

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Please do not close this the way bug 792841 was closed.  It's a bad
  crash, even if it does not generate a crash report.  The bug also
  occurs in Ooo.

  This bug could not be duplicated with the LibreOffice debugging files
  installed, or even after the debugging files are uninstalled again.
  You need to just try it with a fresh copy.  I can duplicate this from
  OOo on installed Maverick, or LibreOffice from a Natty CD.  I have not
  tried other combinations.

  This computer is a Dell Intel Core 2 Duo with 1 GB, in case memory is
  an issue.

  Steps to duplicate
  0. Boot from a Ubuntu Natty CD.
  1. Start LibreOffice Writer
  2. Insert picture from file (I used a .jpg).  Click on the page.
  3. Right click on picture. Wrap > Edit contour...
  4. Select polygon tool and enter several points.
  5. Notice that you can't finish the polygon.
  6. In desperation, click the ellipse tool.
  7. Wave the mouse around the picture a little.
  8. Right click on the picture.

  Results
  Boom! Session crashes, login screen appears. On another computer running OOo on Maverick the system freezes for a prolonged time, but apparently does not crash.
