However, I now have a problem with a Word file. As soon as I try to convert it to PDF, the process hangs. When I use “top” to view my processes, I see that soffice.bin has 100% CPU usage. This does not change even after a longer wait and i have to kill it manually. my Libreoffice version: LibreOffice 5.3.6.1 30(Build:1) This version is installed automatically on Centos 7 with yum install libreoffice-core libreoffice-writer libreoffice-calc libreoffice-impress What I have tried so far: - Libreoffice version 7.3.2 - Libreoffice version 7.2.6 - Call with --backtrace - backtrace with debuginfo-install libreoffice-core-5.3.6.1-25.el7_9.x86_64 With all versions installed, the same behavior is seen with the Word file. There is nothing helpful in the gdbtrace.log. As soon as the process hangs, it also writes nothing to the log file. Here the gdbtrace.log: warning: Currently logging to gdbtrace.log. Turn the logging off and on to make the new setting effective. [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".

But I hope in both cases that someone can help me.
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I just gave a try to pdf export, it hangs. I noticed these logs repeated: kill -9warn:legacy.osl:676743:676743:sw/source/core/layout/layact.cxx:574: LoopControl_1 in SwLayAction::InternalAction warn:sw.core:676743:676743:sw/source/core/view/vdraw.cxx:246: Trying to move anchor from invalid page - fix layouting! I also tried to convert the docx to odt, it's ok. Then I tried to convert odt to pdf => hang too.
Not just headless, also GUI export. 44 regression commit 628a60f40283924a2709c308ce276600353605a1 source-hash-8cf681c5049970573020d8b808c990441b9cf828 previous source-hash-6e580f3f53ae2de086a08c8ba1958b67874eb9c5 Author: Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@collabora.co.uk> DOCX import: fix FooterBodyDistance for first pages CC Mikloš, please see.
Thanks for the bisect! This is a situation where the layout loops, and the layout was already not capable of laying out this document model, just this doc model was not created by the DOCX import previously. You could create an ODT document which builds the same doc model, load it into Writer with an old version before the above commit and it would also loop. So I agree that this is a bug and it's useful to fix it, but the above commit just makes this more visible, it's not a new problem. Adjusting keywords accordingly.
(In reply to Timur from comment #2) > Not just headless, also GUI export. Yes, but Linux only. Windows export works. Also works if Different First Page header/footer turned off in MSO. Adjusting the title.
