Description R. Frank Johnston 2025-09-19 18:14:44 UTC
Description:
I have had this problem for years, over many updates to Libreoffice and Linux Mint. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a large document in Impress.
2. Work with it for a while. Click Normal or Notes tab several times. 
3.Click Outline Tab. it locks up. you have to force closed and lose some of your work. 

Actual Results:
Locks up

Expected Results:
Doesn't lock up. 
I figured someone would fix this eventually but i have applied all updates to Linux Mint (from 18 through 22.2) and LibreOffice for 2 or 3 years. Usually I just avoid the Outline button but occasionally I accidentally click it and lose my work.  


Reproducible: Sometimes
