Description Richard Manning 2020-09-11 17:28:48 UTC 
Created attachment 165398 [details]
.odt file with linked fields

FILEOPEN: Attached .odt file contains internally linked fields.

It opens & functions fine in Writer 6.x

In Writer 7.0, attempting to opening the file brings up the confirmation window 

"The document NotebookTabs.odt contains one or more links to external date. Would you like to change the document, and update all links to get the most recent data?"

Choosing Yes OR choosing No hangs Writer.

I confirm, that writer becomes unresponsive, but I recieve no crash

Version: 7.0.1.2 (x64)

Just for clarification: Does it really crash?
Comment 2 Richard Manning 2020-09-12 16:25:14 UTC 
Sorry I was imprecise: it hangs. File doesn't load, application title bar says (Not Responding). I gave it 30 minutes. Nada.

Comment 5 Richard Manning 2021-03-31 15:20:01 UTC 
Just tried it again with 7.1.1.2 and the file opens and works FINE, as do all my other similar linked-field files. Looks like the bug got fixed somewhere between 7.0.1.2 and 7.1.1.2. Many thanks to whoever LibreWizards squashed it.

I tried to bisect when the problem was fixed but I couldn't find anything useful.
In fact, I don't reproduce it in
