(This report may be related to bug 65076 or bug 64541) I had two windows for the same document open. I changed the zoom for one window. When I switched to the other window (which was possibly at the end of the document, showing an index), the windows switched from left page view to right page view in a never-ending loop, and I could not do anything. Not even the "close window" events were processed. I had to kill Writer through the task manager. The document had tables, images, cross-references, index entries, and all the stuff a document has... (just in case you ask)
Can you please provide a test document so this can be tested against and subsequently be confirmed. If your document contains sensitive data, please clear that or replace it with random information. A step-by-step description of how to reproduce the issue is most helpful and will help to speed up the processing of this problem a lot. Besides that, please provide a screenshot showing your two windows of the one document. Setting to NEEDINFO until more detail is provided. After providing the requested info, please reset this bug to UNCONFIRMED. Thanks :)

I tried to reproduce the problem, but I could not. However I could reproduce the effect that a change of page view (e.g. from single page to side-by-side) changed the document position considerably (multiple pages). Maybe this, in turn, caused the effect observed. I have a 1.4MB video (WMV) that shows the effect, but I did not attach it because of size. If you want to see it, please tell me.
One more note: Reproduction was done with 4.1.6 release.
Created attachment 100795 [details] 1420x1080 WMV video (1.4MB) showing the effect of changing views
