MSWord created, saves OK, crashes on closing after removing header

This does not look (to me) like 99436. 

Linux (Debian), LO 5.0.5.2, AMD64.

The attached file has been simplified to bare essentials! It can be saved as .docx or .odt quite happily, and can be closed without problem. Any and all text can be deleted, including from the page header, and it will save and close properly.

Even as .odt, delete the header, even apparently empty, and it will save without problem, BUT then close the file and LibreOffice crashes. Guaranteed.

As long as the page header has not been removed, there is no problem.

After crashing, the file can be opened and closed with no issues.

Hi Bruce,

thanks for reporting.
Now version 5.0.5.2 is rather old.
We are at 5.2.7.2 and 5.3.3.2...
Can you please check in one of these versions and report if the problem exists there too?
thanks

OK, Seems fixed in 5.2.7.2.  Certainly no more crashing on removing a page header.
I call resolved!
