Also in 5.2 (I was wrong)
Also in 5.1
Not in 5.0

However it crashes when moving the image again (that does not happen with 4.4.7.2)

For the record.. I bibisected the point, where the looping - so never finished - previously it did stop (after 8 seconds of attempts).. the previous state was not stable either.. touch the image again.. crash

(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #8)
My bibisect in comment 6 makes no sense .. can find any commit which explains the crash

Additional information:

Small modifications that avoid crash/freeze:

1.  Change Vertical and Horizontal Position of "afbeelding99" to Entire Page, instead of "Entire Paragraph".  Now you can change anchor "to character" without crash.

2. Change anchor of "afbeelding100" to "to paragraph"  (both images move to first page), now you can change anchor of "afbeelding99" to "to character" without crash.

3. Drag "afbeelding100" downward with mouse (arrow keys do not work), it will move to the next page (after the "cat photo" (Afbeelding181)), because "afbeelding100" is anchored "to character", where the character is the cat photo (which is anchored "as character").  Now you can change the anchor of "afbeelding99" to "to character" without crash.

4.  Select the first three lines after the cat photo (starts with: consequat, vel illum dolore eu feugiat) and paste it in front of the photo.  Note that the text will move to the same page as "afbeelding99" and "afbeelding100".  Now you can change the anchor of "afbeelding99" to "to character" without crash.

In short -- the "test file" is a highly specialized (and highly unlikely) case where the cat photo is the first character of the paragraph to which it appears that both "afbeelding99" and "afbeelding100" are anchored.  

I have shown several different ways that one could "avoid" the crash -- though I cannot explain why the particular combination results in the crash.

Maybe it is a regression, I have no knowledge or opinion about that.  But even if it was -- is it worth keeping this ticket open for a configuration that is highly unlikely to be created in a normal use situation?  I would propose something like INVALID or INSUFFICIENTDATA
