This is a debug-only problem. You need a debug build to reproduce it. I have tested with the latest LO 24.2 dev master, and the problem is still there:

Not reproducible in:

Comment 6 Hossein 2023-08-11 10:57:30 UTC 
Still reproducible with the latest LO 24.2 dev master:

Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 5484657d2b1677b7e385ab6ef87ad64dcb9934e4

Note that you have to right click on one of the TOC lines that fall outside the borders. Otherwise, it won't lead to assertion failure.

Also, could you please test this on Windows?

The crash assert is still reproducible with the latest LO 26.2 dev master:

Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.2; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US

It also happens with other UI plugins:
