Bug ID: 118445
Summary: attempt to link documents circularly freezes writer
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.4.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Replication:
Create and save two empty docs. In the 1st doc, insert a section and 'link' its
contents to the 2nd doc. Save the 1st doc.
In the 2nd doc, 'insert' a 'section', set 'link' checkbox, set 'file name' to
the 1st doc.
After clicking 'Insert', Writer freezes with maximum cpu usage.
Expected result: Writer recognises the attempt to back-link and -- this is just
an idea -- blocks the 'links update' functionality for the offending content,
with an informational message. But surely not use up all the resources.
