This page is about the Crash report or crash signature field in Bugzilla.

This field can contain a crash signature, a crash report ID, or a URL linking the bug report to our crash reporting website. It is automatically populated with a crash signature when creating a bug report from the crash reporting website, using one of the "File a bug" links.

Populating by hand

If you populate this field by hand, it is best to use the crash signature, as the crash reporting website will automatically list such bugs on a crash signature page. This is very useful to know if the issue has been reported before. (See for example all the associated bugs listed in the "Bug reports for ntdll.dll" section in this crash report page.)

However, for crash signatures to be automatically linked, they need to be surrounded by double-quotes and square brackets like so: ["crash_signature"].

For example, for this particular crash report, one would ideally include:

• the crash signature in the field, using the following format: ["ScDocument::HasClipFilteredRows()"]
• the direct link to the crash report in a comment: https://crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/crash_details/f4d27ff3-9520-48c5-a9df-f98c57e02a51

This format also allows a bug report to include several crash signatures, separated by commas. For example: ["crash_signature_1","crash_signature_2"]
