Reproduce: * Create a text + footnote/crossreference. Ex: "ABCDE ¹ FGHI" * Move at the begining * Activate "overwrite" mode * Overwrite the whole (ex, using "X"), passing over the footnote, so that the text looks like: "XXXXXX¹XXGHI" * Press "Cancel" once ==> cursor move to the character "X" before the footnote (and footnote is wrongly removed) * Press "Cancel" again ==> Libreoffice hangs
Thank you for reporting the bug. it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
You were right. I couldn't reproduce this bug using LibreOffice Writer 5.2.7
