          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 57711
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: All cross references become undefined
          Severity: major
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 3.6.3.2 release
         Component: Writer
           Product: LibreOffice

This is a heads up. There's a bad problem that's bitten me twice. Fortunately
it hasn't happened very often. Unfortunately, it's infrequent enough that I
don't have a test case for it. All I can give right now are the clues I've
seen.

Twice, once today, and once over a week ago, it changed all my document's cross
references to "Error: Reference source not found".  HUNDREDS of them! There was
no "undo". I had to find the last printed copy of my document and re-insert
every cross reference. (Perhaps I should have abandoned the working copy and
restored from the last saved image, but that didn't happen.)

Clues:
* This has happened while I'm in the middle of editing a .odt file.

* When I scroll the LO window, LO often decides that my
frames/tables/illustrations are not where they should be. LO stops for a while
and thinks about it, then, eventually, returns control to me. The main thing it
seems to do is change where, inside of each frame, it's going to display my png
files. The frames mostly stay put, but it displays the png shifted right by
half its width until I scroll again. Then the png is displayed where it's
supposed to be.

* When the cross-reference wipe-out last happened, I was just sitting, watching
the screen, waiting for the png display to settle, when I noticed the cross
references change, one-by-one from their proper text values, e.g., "Table 13",
to "Error: Reference source not found".

* I'm using only local files, so network storage/access is not an issue.
