Bug ID: 158783
Summary: editing alphabetical index crashes Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.3.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In writer I want to eliminate certain repeat items in an alphabetical index.
After deleting a few of the items the system crashes and all the previous work
is lost. The response is a Windows 10 panel which asks one to either allow the
program to continue or close the file. If allowed to continue, it will
continue for hours without closing. Choosing to close the program loses all
previous effort.
Perhaps related. Some of the index occur in other indices, eg the Table of
Contents. The search function will find these items, they will be reported as
alphabetical index items, but the edit reference feature will not allow
entrance to them.
The index was created by finding all instances of an item and commanding then
to be inserted. As a consequence the index contains many more instances than
necessray.
Steps to Reproduce:
Pleas tell me how to update the file to you
1.In the program go to pg 74
2.Scroll down to "compound variable" A prompt will indicate is is in the
alphabeitcal index.
3.edit entry
4. Delete the entry. Writer may crash at this point.
5. If not find the next "compound variable entry listed in the alphabeetial
index. Delete that one. The file may crashg.
6. Continue step 5. The progrem will crash after a few iterations.
Actual Results:
The file crashes under Windows after one or more iterations.
Expected Results:
The selected items should have been removed from the alphaBetical Index without
craching.
Reproducible: Sometimes
