I can confirm the bug too. It's really strange because after the recovery of the documment you can paste the text and LibreOffice doesen't crash.

LibreOffice 3.4.3

platform: Windows 7 Home Premium x64

Confirmed w/LO 3.4.4 (linux - deb build):
LibreOffice 3.4.4 
OOO340m1 (Build:402)

Works w/LO 3.3.4 (linux - deb build):
LibreOffice 3.3.4 
OOO330m19 (Build:401)
tag libreoffice-3.3.4.

So this appears to be a another regression between 3.3.4 and 3.4.x.

indeed it crashes in 3.4.4
It does not in a 3.5 masterbuild.

What is so special about this section that is causes the crash?
Some testing shows that it crashes if I copy paste from the first paragraph, but not if I do it with text from the second.
Note there is something strange too with the paragraph markers in the blue text.
Selecting and setting to default (Toosl > Default) does not make any difference for me.

Got an strace, but it's over 9MB and so can't be attached. Given that the bug is easily reproduced I reckon that a dev can do the same directly.

Just ran across yet another case of a .docx crashing LO and OOo-dev:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.general/57343
[Problem with the Open Office Text Processing]

The file can be downloaded by right clicking Dr. Kostopoulos'
attachement. It will download as a .bin file - just rename it to a .docx
file.
<http://cache.gmane.org//gmane/comp/openoffice/general/57343-001.bin>

1. OOo 3.2.1 (go-oo Ubuntu distribution build linux)
OpenOffice.org 3.2.1
OOO320m19 (Build:9505)
ooo-build 3.2.1.4, Ubuntu package 1:3.2.1-7ubuntu1.

The file opens properly and displays 7 full pages of text including
References and Biography etc., with no problem.

2. OOo-Dev (standard build linux)
OOo-dev 3.4.0
DEV300m106 (Build:9582)

Crashes OOo immediately & leaves a lock file in place.

3. LibreOffice 3.3.4 (standard build linux)
LibreOffice 3.3.4
OOO330m19 (Build:401)
tag libreoffice-3.3.4.

Crashes LO immediately & leaves a lock file in place.

4. LibreOffice 3.4.4 (standard build linux)
LibreOffice 3.4.4
OOO340m1 (Build:402)

Crashes LO immediately & leaves a lock file in place.

My apologies. The former comments regarding the .docx crashes are most likely not related to this bug (where copy & past is the issue).
Comment 8 Timur 2012-02-28 09:04:47 UTC
Loking for some other bug, I tested this with LO 3.5.0 on Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 (alpha). It doesn't crash. Please check.

Thanks, that is confirming what I found in my previous comment:
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42639#c4

I suggest marking as FIXED in 3.5.x
