           Summary: EDITING: writer hangs on character insert in
                    multicolumn section
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: Other
        Whiteboard: BSA PossibleRegression
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 4.2.4.2 release
         Component: Writer
           Product: LibreOffice

Problem description:
Trying to insert a character in a multicolumn section hangs libreoffice writer.
One CPU is at 100%, libreoffice writer does not react on any key strokes or
mouse clicks. You need to kill libreoffice writer and recover the file.

Steps to reproduce:
1. open the attached document Festschrift.odt and move the cursor to the page
10 (effective page 14) just behind the text "im Lauf der Zeit den Nam".
2. Now type the letter "e" to complete the partial word "Nam" to "Name"
3. libreoffice writer hangs

Current behavior:
libreoffice writer hangs instead of appending the letter "e". It does not react
to any key strokes or mouse clicks, nor does it repaint the screen on exposure
events.

Expected behavior:
libreoffice writer should append the letter "e" rebalancing the text evenly
distributing contents to all 3 columns.

I generated a core file of the looping writer process. As this file is large
(240 MB) I don't append it to this bug report. Instead I provide the core dump
(as well as the test file) for download at
