Description: Writer hangs if all of these happen: - you try to Find&Replace some text - the replacement uses formatting - 'Track changes' is activated Steps to Reproduce: In the attached video you can see the sequence. 1. Open a new Writer file, write several times any word (say, 'bridge') 2. Activate 'Track Changes' 3. Open Find & Replace dialog 4. Find: 'bridge', Replace by: 'bridge' (in italics) 5. Press 'Replace all' Actual Results: Writer hangs. You have to kill it and lose changes Expected Results: every 'bridge' is replaced by "bridge" in italics. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: 1- I just tried italics, but I assume this would be the same for other formatting options 2- if you use VLC for the attached video, you will see a black screen. It's a VLC problem. To solve this, go to Input/Codecs -> Video codecs -> FFmpeg -> Hardware decoding -> Disable
