Description Robert McClure 2023-08-22 22:06:40 UTC
Description:
Several times I have copied a number of HTML files to Writer and had it go into an unrecoverable state but not a crash. When this occurs the last item inserted seems to be repeated numerous times and Writer does not seem to be able to recover. The last page has in the lower right corner a red triangle and appears to have a hairline beneath the triangle. This only seems to occur when multiple tables are copied, and has never occurred when simple text is copied.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a new Writer document
2. Open an HTML document with several tables
3. Copy (ctl-C) the HTML document
4. Paste (ctl-V) the HTML document into the Writer document
5. Repeat step 5 a number of times until the page count is around 25
6. Suddenly the document gets pasted a number of times and stops when the red triangle is at the bottom of the page. Nothing appears to work after that.

Actual Results:
Suddenly the document gets pasted a number of times and stops when the red triangle is at the bottom of the page. Nothing appears to work after that.

Expected Results:
Only one copy of the HTML document should be pasted with each ctl-V


Reproducible: Always

Robert, thank you for reporting the bug. Please attach a sample html-file, since that makes it easier for us to verify the bug. Thank you.
