Simplified version of the test document

The freeze occurs due to this small part: a non-breaking space is inserted just after a field, and LibO seems to have problem because it cannot cut the field.

I confirm freeze with the first attachement on Ubuntu 12.04.4 x86_64 with LibreOffice  4.2.0.2 Build ID: 601a398b803303d1a40a3299729531824fe0db56

Thank you Laurent !It's really a matter of non breaking space after a field.

Allow me to add some details:
- The issue appears when we have a list field. (it works fine with a text field).
- The freeze occurs when the list field comes after a line break and followed by a non breaking space.
- Even if the we have a short list field, the bug is there with the above conditions.
