--- Comment #2 from Dean <dean.mccumber3 at gmail.com> ---
This is weird.  I find that that the bug persists on my principal desktop
(running Windows 10 Pro), but no bug/crash on another desktop and a laptop,
both running the same version of LO and both supposedly running the same
Windows 10 (the desktop the Home version; the laptop the Pro version).

When I said earlier that a work around was to enter the fields in the main text
and then copy to the footer, I was using that second desktop.  I verified today
that I can write fields directly into the footer on that device. But, if I try
to call Insert>More Fields on the first desktop, LO-6 will crash when I am
writing to text or to footer.

The problem never arose under LO-5.  "Document Recovery" was common under LO-5
when saved documents were reopened, but the recovery was almost always
successful and done quickly.  Document Recovery was not so common before under
OpenOffice (or MS Word).
