Steps to reproduce: 1) open the attached file "nestedtables.odt" 2) save as .doc 2) observe that LibreOffice is unresponsive, consuming 100% CPU on one core Further observations: Recreating this document from scratch in Writer, it can actually be saved successfully as .doc (see attached "nestedtables.doc"). It is not until the document is saved as .odt, closed, reopened from .odt that the issue occurs.
