--- Comment #20 from Luke Kendall <[email protected]> --- "Number of questions" * The cursor is between "oily grid" next oily replaced by 'feel' (but no clue what happened in between) Originally, I deleted "feel of " from in front of "oily grit". I then corrected "he" to "her". Then I decided it was better with "feel of " there. Since I had deleted it, not cut it, I re-typed "feel of " before "oily grit", but after typing the "f" in "of", the words appeared twice. The video shows me undoing and then redoing to help show what happened. * Is it possible to reproduce the problem with the exact same steps as seen in the screencast? I doubt it, the behaviour seems to happen randomly. At first I thought it happened only with spaces (and apostrophes) and was somehow related to smart punctuation replacing an ascii ' character with an apostrophe, as originally all occurrences seemed to relate to spaces being stripped from between words and added at the end of the typed sequence. (Well, spaces plus the apostrophe.) But the video shows text doubling, which seems to happen randomly. * Are you working with Track & Changes on or off? Yes, I have Track Changes on, to see if it crashed even in Safe Mode: I wanted to change as little as possible. After that crash, I forgot to turn Track Changes off, and had the extra crash. Both of the last two produced a crash dump which I hit "Send" for. I only had a copy of the URL for the last one though. * Is this LibreOffice 7.0.5.2 is from LibreOffice.org or distro build? I'm not certain but I'm pretty sure 7.0.5.2 was a Libreoffice.org build, as their releases are more frequent than those of the distro. I'm 100% certain the 7.3.0.3 build was from LO.org. I have also seen text change on screen unrelated to my edits: the text looking wrong (as if the text was rendered in the wrong position in the paragraph), and vanish after undoing and redoing. This greatly reduced my confidence that I could trust that what I could see was what the text in the file actually had. On top of the frequent crashes and data loss, it encouraged me to stop using 7.3. I have now reverted to LO 7.2. Hope this helps a bit. I hope the crash report(s) I mentioned help, too. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
