Program crash converting highlighted text to metafile

Was reported as issue 14504 - convert text Tested again and I can still crash beta2 - however I can also make it work and I know the difference. If you highlight your text in the text frame eg double click it so that the text itself is displayed inverted video, white on a black background ie normal highlight and then go to meta file it will crash the program. If you click on the textbox outline and display the text in object mode and then convert it will work. Also Jozef Riha <zefo@seznam.cz> reported he could reproduce bug in users@oo.org on 15 May 20:47 please check this before closing the issue. Since there is a work round its not too vital but its better not to be able to crash the program even with obscure combinations.
Thank you very much for the detailed description! Now I am able to reproduce this behaviour. After marking the text into black/white mode use the menu modify/convert/to metafile-> Office crashes. This is reproduceable ona current internal version, too. Reassigned to Sven.
Set to new.
WG->SJ: this occurs on windows,too.
Hi Andre, it seems that this is your bug, the crash is happening only if accessibility is turned "on". I changed the target milestone to OOo 1.1 RC
Conversion to metafile did not end the edit mode of the text shape to convert at the right time. Added a call to EndTextEdit() to the SdDrawViewShell::FuTemporary() method in sd/source/ui/view/drviews2.cxx before converting the shape.
Please test.
Set to fixed.
Verified.
Tested and closed.
