CRITICAL CRASH WITH NVDA AND WORD 2016 #5954

NVDA Version: master-13321,7b0fd6f5 causes Word 2016 to crash after typing for a short while. Turning off reporting of grammar errors does not fix this, so I don't think it is that feature causing the crash.
Word 2016, Office 365

Testing both with fresh instances of word exclusively with Narrator,
NVDA or no screen-reader, and in a single instance of word while
switching screen-readers, I was only able to crash it with NVDA on. I
was not able to crash it consistently, but crashes seemed to occur
within about 2 minutes of opening word and/or enabling NVDA.

For reference, I am running Windows 10 Home 64 bit version 1511 build
10586.318 (stable builds), Microsoft Office 365 Version 16.0.6868.2060
and NVDA version master-13321,7b0fd6f5.

Are you absolutely certain this is caused by NVDA? For example, can you
reproduce it if you use Narrator? Also, are you running Windows 10
Insider builds?

We have reason to believe there might be a bug in a recent update to
Word 2016 and/or Windows 10 that might be causing this.

Are you seeing some sort of crash dialog or is it more like a freeze where it stops responding?

I occasionally get this on windows 7 with older versions of word. It is very
rare though and apparently seems to follow some fiddling about with the font
dialogue, is this what is being done in the newer version. I cannot say when
it will happen but put it down to old word, andwindows 7 with nvda.

No. It is the latest stable Windows 10 with the latest stable Word 2016
(Office 365). This happens if I just open word and start typing; after a
random (but usually short) period of time it crashes.

I tried using a (portable) copy of NVDA 2016.1, and word ran fine, and
as I already said, the issue also doesn't occur while running Narrator.
Therefore, I think it is a problem with the new version of NVDA
(master-13324,b0e35d32), but I don't know; I'm not an expert.

In case it's useful, I've copied the error log below.

Was your master-13324,b0e35d32) a portable or installed copy? if
installed, could you please confirm if it crashes with a portable copy?

Thanks

It was an installed copy.

I tested with a portable copy with my preferences saved, and a portable
copy with no preferences and both copies caused the same issue.

This is probably not the case, but do you have a messaging app called
Mumble installed at all? We are noticing that it can make Microsoft Word
unstable on certain systems.

Just a note that this problem still persists with NVDA 2016.2. It was
even happening on my work machine running Windows 7 (Enterprise) and
Office 2010.

I am going to try and see if it is one of my addons or programs doing
it, but it seems that this release has broken compatibility with
something or other.

I'm having the same, or at least a very similar issue here. Word 2010 64 bits on Windows 10 (normal release, no insider build), NVDA next-13326,62282e0b.

I was editing a document and after a while NVDA freezes completely. When I restart NVDA, Word has gone in the "is not responding" state. A friend called earlier today, she has exactly the same issue with NVDA 2016.2.

The not so helpful log output during the crash:

DEBUGWARNING - watchdog._watcher (23:55:15):

Just tried to reproduce the crash running from source commit 8b4b002. I typed for a while in the same document, but I couldn't get NVDA/Word to crash.

It should be noted that several times this is happened to me while I've told Nvidia to create a dump for word and have never gotten it to produce one

Although this is most likely caused by support for grammar errors #5877, due to some implementation details, it won't be enough to just disable reporting of grammar errors. If testing with speech, you will need to disable Play Sounds for spelling errors, and if testing with braille, you will need to disable report spelling errors and disable report grammar errors.

For people experiencing crashes in MS Word with NVDA, please run the following NVDA try build:
https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/lnl8rca4vswp8mu6/artifacts/output/nvda_snapshot_try-fixWord-13355,5e83bfa3.exe

This try build is equivalent to NVDA 2016.2, with out support for grammar errors in Microsoft Word, and also contains the fix for the Microsoft Word 2007 start-up crash on XP.

Before running this build, it is very important that you reboot your computer to ensure that Microsoft word is not running, and to ensure it has not left anything around in memory. Once rebooted, start this build as a portable or installed copy, and only then open Microsoft Word.

Please let us know if the crash goes away, or if it remains.

Thanks

Sorry, I mean to ensure that Microsoft word is still not running.
Sometimes when MS Word crashes, it seems to leave bits around. Therefore
the next time you start Word, even with a different copy of NVDA, it
could still be in an unstable state.

The reboot ensures that Microsoft Word is started fresh when testing.

Just to clarify, do you want us to remove NVDA completely from our
computer, or MS Word? I think the program name got left out above.
Thanks.

I didn't read this carefully, and heard remove rather than reboot. My bad.

I have done as directed, and have not experienced any further crashing.

Thanks.

Hi,

i'm sorry, that it happened for some users. anyway reporting of grammer errors and "playing sounds on spelling errors" was a great feature and on win7 32-bit and word 2010 it worked without problems. now i'm trying to reproduce on latest stable win10 and it seems that i cannot find no problem, so i hope, that this feature will be included again.

Do we have any information about office vs. windows combinations where this issue does not occur? I've worked with Windows 10 and office 2016 multiple times and as far as I remember, haven't experienced crashes so far. May be we can enable the feature in working cases and disable it in others?

It does. But sometimes my word was crashing when I opened a document and
made a couple of minor alterations. So it seems very unpredictable.

rapid typing for quite a while to trigger it.
