Description sworddragon2 2014-04-17 07:48:47 UTC 
If a section gets deleted but the action is then undone there is often a delay of ~1-2 seconds and after this time the returned text is wrong. Here are the steps to reproduce:

1. Open a new Writer document.
2. Write the 3 lines "Test1", "Test2" and "Test3".
3. Select "Test2".
4. Go to Insert -> Section, enable the checkbox "Hide", insert the condition "hidden==1" without doublequotes and click on "Insert".
5. Delete the section.
6. Press CTRL + Z.
6.1. The second line will now be empty and after a delay the section does appear.
7. Press CTRL + Z.
7.1 Test2 appears now again in the section but this line got duplicated as non-section.

Reproduce using version 4.2.4.1 Ubuntu 14.04 - Set as New - Sophie
Comment 2 Gordo 2015-06-05 17:22:22 UTC 
Could not reproduce.

1. New Text Document.
2. Type “test1”, Enter, “test2”, Enter, and “test3”.
3. Select “test2”.
4. Insert → Section, check Hide, type “hidden=1” (without quotes) in With Condition box, and Insert.
Note:
“test2” is hidden and in Navigator, “Section 1” is greyed out.
5. Format → Sections, select “Section 1”, Remove and OK.
Note:
“test2” is no longer hidden and section has been deleted.
6. Undo.
Note:
“test2” is hidden and in Navigator, “Section 1” is greyed out.
7. Undo.
Note:
“test2” is no longer hidden and section has been deleted.
Result:
Document is at state prior to insert section.

When “hidden==1” is used then it is just a regular section and the result is the same.

Windows Vista 64

Can someone retest on Linux with a more recent version?

I'm still able to reproduce this issue with LibreOffice 4.4.2.2 on Linux.

I reproduced with 6.1+ like this:
1. Open a new Writer document.
2. Write the 4 lines "Test1", "Test2", "Test3", "Test4".
3. Select "Test2".
Go to Insert -> Section, enable the checkbox "Hide", insert the condition "hidden==1" without doublequotes and click on "Insert".
4. Select "Test4".
Go to Insert -> Section and click on "Insert".
5. Put cursor before "Test2" and press Delete to delete text and than again to delete the section.
6. Press CTRL + Z to Undo.
The second line will now be empty.
7. Press CTRL + Z to Undo again.
Test2 appears now again in the section but this line got duplicated as non-section at the end.

One of those happy moments when you retest and find out that some mysterious dev has resolved this, maybe without even intending it. 

No repro LO 6.3.3 and 6.5+.
