Can reproduce it in Writer with DEV300m37 on WinXP and Fedora How to reproduce it 1 Create a new Writer document 2 Type ENTER three times, set cursor to the third paragraph, enter a character what you like, e.g. 'a'. 3 Edit - Changes - check 'Record', delete the character you entered just now 4 Edit - Changes - uncheck 'Show' and uncheck 'Record' 5 CTRL + A, Delete 6 Undo, Redo, Undo Result OOo crashes Expectation OOo works well Regards Li Meiying
MRU->AMA: as described, 4 emptyparagraphs, in third enter a character, turn on redlining, delete character, turn off "Show changes" and "Record changes", select all, delete, Undo-Redo-Undo -> crash.
Just an observation that can be helpful. I work a lot with long texts in the 'record changes' mode with changes hidden ('show' ticked off) both on Microsoft Word and OpenOffice.org Writer. When pressing undo (button or Ctrl-Z) more than a few times in OOo, the undo behavior becomes unpredictable. It randomly changes text that hasn't been edited yet, and then just stops undoing. So my guess is the undo queue gets mixed up somehow. Happens in OOo 3.0.0, 3.1.0 and 3.1.1 on Ubuntu.
