Hardware: (PC)
Processor: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12400   2.50 GHz
Memory:12.0GB
Software:
Operating System: Windows 11 Home 22H2 22621.1265
LibreOffice Version: 7.3.7.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community

1. In Windows 11, open task manager showing memory usage graph
2. Open LibreOffice Writer and a large file (doesn't have to be a large file,
but it is easier/faster to duplicate with it - I think I have seen this with
multiple smaller files open when cutting and pasting between files). My sample
file is about 350 pages long with lots of text and is in Word .docx format.
Opening the file does not cause memory usage to bump up very much. I decided to
not include the sample file since it contained personal information. However, I
have seen this with several different files. Also, my files are on a Sandisk
SSD (2TB) connected via USB 3.0. Less than half the space on the SSD is used.
3. With File Manager visible (1/2 screen) and LibreOffice 1/2 screen (in order
to monitor the memory usage), start scrolling through the file continuously. I
have a trackball and use the scroll wheel.
4. Continue scrolling through the file. Note that the memory usage continues to
increment as you scroll through the file. When the memory usage hits 94%, CPU
usage jumps and LibreOffice freezes, then crashes and closes.
For me, this causes a crash of LibreOffice every time.
I have had similar crashes on my Linux Mint machine, but didn't know how to
duplicate the problem. If desired, I can fire it up later and try to duplicate
there, now knowing how to duplicate it.
I suspect that this memory leak (or perhaps there is a better term) is the root
cause of several other bug reports. I am also fairly certain I experienced this
same issue on previous versions of LibreOffice.
The "work around" is to save changes frequently.
