See attached file.

I can confirm this problem with AOO 4.1.0 under Windows 7 Home 64bit.  Debugging shows:

1  When I select all columns and rows of the first table (on Page 1), the screen flashes and, after a few seconds, AOO crashes with an SEH Exception ACCESS VIOLATION error message.

2  When I delete the last page (page 44), AOO does not crash when I select the first table.

3  When I delete just the comment on the last page (page 44), AOO does not crash when I select the first table.

4  Moving the mouse seems to cause the crash to happen immediately, without delay.

Isolating the problem to Page 44 should assist in problem analysis.  An earlier posts in the forum states " ... when working with tables in Writer with large documents (+50 pages of text), Writer crashes whenever I select a few rows of an existing table. The error message I receive reads: "SEH Exception: ACCESS VIOLATION"". 

The original poster posted a larger file to the Writer forum with about 55 pages.  jkrideau posted "I am not getting any crashes but the second large table is not letting me edit it. In any case there are no figures in the tables. It appears that the figures are not embedded."  He is running Ubuntu (and says 4.0.1 but that is probably 4.1.0 now).

I see the same crash with this document testing AOO 4.1 on Fedora Linux.

The crash seems to be related to the new text span comment feature.

The crash can be avoided if the comments are converted to simple position comments by removing the <office:annotation-end> tags.

I can confirm this issue on my system with AOO 4.1.0 - AOO 4.0.1 works fine.

Joe Smith's assumption is correct - the comment/annotation of a text range causes the crash.

This issue is a duplicate of issue 125024 - its fix is integrated in planned 4.1.1 release code line.

Double checked the attached sample file with build AOO411m1(Build:9770)  -  Rev. 1603804 2014-06-16 14:10:45 (Mo, 16 Jun 2014) on Win 7, the issue does not happen.
