Hi :) Good work! Getting 1 cause out of the way would be great. Sounds likely to be the commonest cause of the problem for this team. Have you already posted a bug-report? Regards from Tom :)

To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, 18 February, 2012, 22:57 I am now able to cause it to happen every time in the latest version of LO (so I found one magic combination). This magic combination does not cause a problem in OOo. Certainly there may be more than one cause and/or trigger. I have some hope that if we find one cause and trace what it does, it may provide incite into other combinations (or even prevent the other combinations from causing a problem). Spent a few hours today making sure that I can reproduce the problem. I also spent time poking around the code. I have seen little to no evidence that anyone is actively pursuing this particular bug (which means almost nothing), but I do see that it is assigned to someone. For the trigger that I found, it occurs when auto-save writes stuff out, but it does NOT occur if I write the file myself. I have a really long shot crazy notion or two, but I know so little about the internals that I expect that I am dead wrong.
