Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: (SOLUTION FOUND) Navigator on Linux and on MacOS
Writer crashes when trying to move chapters around.
Product: General
Version: 4.1.13
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Minor
Priority: P5 (lowest)

Target Milestone: ---
There is a potential issue with the component View -> Navigator IF you have
imported some chapters from Word. In this case, moving chapters up or down
inside Navigator MAY very quickly lead to a crash.
IF this is the case, follow the following steps:
1) Put the problematic file into a new empty folder A.
2) Rename this problematic file from xxx.odt to xxx.zip.
3) Unzip this file. You will see amongst others a file named "styles.xml". In
my case this was 50Kb in size.
Next:
1) Again create a new empty folder B.
2) Create a new empty file and save it in this new folder.
3) Rename this empty file from yyy.odt to yyy.zip
4) Unzip this file. You will see again a "styles.xml" file. In my case it is
quite small, only 10Kb.
Then:
1) Overwrite the large "styles.xml" in folder A with the smaller "styles.xml"
from folder B.
2) Delete the xxx.zip file
3) Mark all your files in folder A and zip them.
4) rename your xxx.zip back to xxx.odt
The problem has disappeared.
You will however need to recreate a number of personal Styles for your own use.
This method is generally useful when imported Word documents contain a dozens
and dozens of automatically created styles such as "conten001" etc. Word often
creates loads of new styles without the user even knowing about it.
