Description David Paenson 2022-10-08 10:22:59 UTC 
On Linux and on MacOS Writer crashes when trying to move chapters around. This has been a problem for at least the past six months.
Comment 1 David Paenson 2022-10-08 10:25:59 UTC 
I mean the component "Navigator" - as soon as you start using it to move chapters up or down, Writer simply freezes/crashes.
Comment 2 Ariel Constenla-Haile 2022-10-17 03:32:10 UTC 
Can you upload a sample document with minimal content (dummy text) in order to reproduce the bug?
Comment 3 oooforum (fr) 2022-10-22 09:16:12 UTC 
Linux what? Give us the distro name used.

Seems to be working after all. Please tag the issue as resolved.
Comment 5 David Paenson 2022-10-23 10:36:39 UTC 
I can't figure why, but OpenOffice seems to be doing the job of moving around chapters using the Navigator quite happily without crashing. I cannot reproduce this problem after all.
Comment 6 David Paenson 2022-10-23 10:44:43 UTC 
Sorry, once again: AOO *does* indeed crash, but not immediately. It crashes for instance when closing the docuument.
Comment 7 Matthias Seidel 2022-10-23 10:47:40 UTC 
Can you tell us what Linux you are using?

Maybe related to #128449

AOO does indeed crash. I thought the problem had disappeared, but not the case. I think it has something to do with the text file, and is not a general problem. If I create a new short file, the problem does not occur. Perhaps the problem is due to the fact that some of the chapters were originally imported from Word.
