Description: This happened to me as I was trying to reproduce tdf#104920 "Clone Formatting in Writer Does Not Properly Copy Attributes Sometimes". Perhaps both bugs come from one cause. STR --- (0) Download "Example 1.odt" attached to tdf#104920. (1) Open "Example 1.odt" from the command line. Caret is before the bullet on the first line (2) "<right><right><right>". Caret is after "I". (3) "<alt>+O C". Mouse cursor is paint can. (4) Drag mouse cursor throught the text of second bullet point ("This text ... this line."). The selection is reverse image. (5) Release mouse button. Program crashes with error message in terminal : soffice.bin: /home/terry/lo_hacking/git/libo6/sw/source/core/undo/rolbck.cxx:1328: bool SwRegHistory::InsertItems(const SfxItemSet&, sal_Int32, sal_Int32, SetAttrMode): Assertion `std::find_if( m_pHistory->m_SwpHstry.begin(), m_pHistory->m_SwpHstry.end(), [nExpected](SwHistoryHint *const pHint) -> bool { SwHistoryResetText const*const pReset( dynamic_cast<SwHistoryResetText const*>(pHint)); return pReset && (pReset->GetWhich() == nExpected); }) != m_pHistory->m_SwpHstry.end()' failed.

Repro with attachment 129936 [details] and dbgutil compiled just now. This only happens with a debug build, so I guess I'll keep priority/severity intact..

I no longer see the raised assertion in daily Linux dbgutil bibisect repository version 2017-01-11. Thank you, Michael. However, I see that bug 104920 persists. Is it possible that the original assert was right and the calling code is wrong? Despite this question, I am setting status VERIFIED FIXED.
