--- Comment #6 from Yves Poissant <[email protected]> --- More of my observations: I took a look at the Linux stack trace. This is consistent with my observations. The book contains a lot of footnotes. Several lenghty ones. At least one spanning more that one full page. Changing the font size, in this case, forces the paragraphs to lengthen and forces the recompute of paragraphs and footnotes distributions and pages formatting. Clearly, there are some critical paragraph-to-footnote relationships that causes troubles to the page reformating algorithm. One issue I had, which I can't give exact reproduction steps before the crash is resolved, was that after I made sure all the pages were properly formatted and saving the document. Once I reopened the document, some pages had large gaps of blank space at the bottom of the page. Those pages were invariably followed by a page with a footnote anchor in the first line. So, clearly, the footnote reformatting algorithm couldn't figure how to resolve this situation. I could resolve it manually by deleting the space between the last word and its previous word of the page with the large blank gap. This brought the rest of the text and the associated footnote to fill the gap. Then I reinserted the space between the words and all looked fine. ... Until I saved the document and reopened it again. In case you are curious, the book was typeset in 1954 and can be found at https://archive.org/details/dli.ernet.505700/page/n5/mode/2up -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
