            Bug ID: 128310
           Summary: Crash when I open a specific Libre Office Writer file
                    (SR_P.odt) and search or modify.  Other similar files
                    in the same directory are OK (so far).
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.7.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: tgreen at mcn.org

Description:
I have a directory with large word processing research files in Libre Office
Writer.  For the last several weeks, when I open SR_P.odt (one of about 20 such
files) and do a search, the screen moves to within a page or two of the target,
but never the correct spot.  When I try to scroll up or down, it keeps
returning to the same place.  Sometimes I can move the right-hand slider bar
and then scroll to the proper location, but often this does not work. 
Occasionally I can modify and save the text, but usually it crashes the entire
program.  Recovery works, but the problem with that specific file persists and
may be getting worse.  The other files in that directory do not seem to be
affected, and all my other work (I am a college professor, so there are many of
them) is not affected.  I have been using Libre for about six years and, aside
from minor glitches, this is first persistent problem I have encountered

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open C:\Users\Tobias Green\Dropbox\New folder\Dropbox\DBoxDocs\IFL
Inc\SocReg_odt\SR_P
2.Search for some text
3.

Actual Results:
The search results in going to a page near the target text, but not the correct
one.  Scrolling (usually need to go upward) lands you back on the same page. 
Moving the right-hand slider bar up or down a little lands on a nearby page and
sometimes you can then scroll back to the target text, but this works only
occasionally and seems to be working less often.

Expected Results:
Libre Office Writer crashes, necessitating a recovery.  After it has been
recovered and closed, returning later to that specific file (SR_P) produces the
same result.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
Found the target text, permitted editing, then allowing me to save and close
the file.  Then, obviously, to reopen in it edit.
