Description:
In the attached when you go to a row and insert a row below, librewriter freezes and has to be terminated.
It also often happens with some other tasks but presumably the same bug at heart.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to a row
2.Insert row below
3.

Actual Results:

This seems to have begun at the below commit in bibisect repository/OS linux-64-6.5.
Adding Cc: to László Németh ; Could you possibly take a look at this one?

Comment 5 László Németh 2023-04-11 11:14:30 UTC
It seems, this is an older regression. In LO 6.2 it was possible to insert arbitrary number of new rows, but inserting three new rows under the second row resulted freezing since LO 6.3.

Testing: put the cursor in the cell "Windows size" in the second table row, and insert 3 new lines.
Comment 6 László Németh 2023-04-11 14:37:08 UTC
Note: bisected commit, where freezing in 6.2 was fixed (temporarily):

    tdf#119253 sw: fix layout loop with row-span table
    
    This table has style:row-height="2.014cm" on its 2nd row (1142 twips).
    
    In the 1st call of FormatLayoutTab(), the 1st row of the table is split
    and the 2nd row moves to the next page.
    
    In the 2nd call of FormatLayoutTab(), the 1st row grows from 400 to 454
    twips, presumably due to the style:min-row-height="0.801cm" on it.
    
    In the 3rd call of FormatLayoutTab(), the GetFollow()->ShouldBwdMoved()
    returns true and the 2nd row moves back again, because
    SwTabFrame::CalcHeightOfFirstContentLine() determines the height of the
    2nd row as the maximum height of cells with rowspan=1 (400 twips), which
    fits on the 1st page, ignoring the style:row-height="2.014cm" on the row
    (1142 twips), which does not fit on the 1st page.
    
    This loops until "LoopControl_1 in SwLayAction::InternalAction" is
    triggered, and then eventually stops in 5.4 but loops even more since
    commit 18765b9fa739337d2d891513f6e2fb7c3ce23b50, for unknown reasons.

With these steps, the freeze on inserting rows happens for me in 6.2.0.3 too, and it started in libreoffice-5.3.0.1 (tested with linux-64-releases bibisect repo).
So culprit should be listed in: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/5.3.0/RC1

But I think we're hitting bug 121720, with that merged cell in Column A reaching the end of the page (a regression from 8a800eea613c0f5ad3302136766791dc58880fb3 for bug 104425)

raal, which exact steps did you use for your test?

Indeed, freeze at second row insertion is 8a800eea613c0f5ad3302136766791dc58880fb3.

However, the change to freeze at first row insertion is 2c918aa51e5528b090e52fa31b10fa17cf2593ae

Bug 121720 was closed as WFM meanwhile and remaining ex-dupes are bug 142773 and bug 138026, which both point to 8a800eea613c0f5ad3302136766791dc58880fb3 either by guess or bibisect.
