I can't reproduce it in

Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: c97a3592c78ce276a353f95ce68c70a8a39174a0

No repro using Version: 7.3.1.3 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 30(Build:3)
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Ubuntu package version: 1:7.3.1~rc3-0ubuntu0.20.04.1~lo1
Calc: threaded

Repro using Version: 7.3.1.3 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: a69ca51ded25f3eefd52d7bf9a5fad8c90b87951
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); UI: en-US
Calc: CL

and using Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 69656132a00491b96da3a898c350f11e9619da64
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: cs-CZ (ru_RU); UI: en-US
Calc: CL

Caused by GDI objects limit (tries to create more than 10 000 GDI objects, mostly bitmaps and DC - about 50/50% each). The problem is each page break being manual, and each manual page break trying to draw its own bitmap creating the control (see SwPageBreakWin). Another problem is creating two GDI objects per each control, halving maximal total object count.

No repro using Version: 7.0.0.3 (x64)
Build ID: 8061b3e9204bef6b321a21033174034a5e2ea88e
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win

which means something changed (maybe a little bit, like a difference between 9999 and 10001; or maybe much - needs a bibisect).
