Description: If the style of a page containing a TOC is changed from single-column to two-column, LO locks up 'not responding'. The problem only occurs when the TOC is present. The problem appears to occur when the TOC occupies more than one column. This may be the same problem as reported in bug report 138900. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the attached document. 2. Modify the default page style so it contains two columns. Actual Results: Locks up 'not responding'. Expected Results: Not lock up! Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.0.3.1 (x64) Build ID: d7547858d014d4cf69878db179d326fc3483e082 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI: en-GB Calc: threaded If one of the headings is deleted and the TOC regenerated before changing the number of columns, there’s no lockup. This suggests the problem may be occurring when the TOC extends into the right-hand column.

I've now tried it on a laptop with the same result. Version: 7.0.4.2 (x64) Build ID: dcf040e67528d9187c66b2379df5ea4407429775 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI: en-GB Calc: CL Regards, Alan R.
I can reproduce it in Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: ecb916667b633f8647790e040226b093760e6cfe CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL

seems to be specific to Windows as I can't reproduce on Linux with anything between LO 6.4 and 7.5. Adding See also and changing Component to Writer.
