Writer document which demonstrates the crash
Paste/undo actions in tables with merged cells cause document corruption and crashes
Observed on OSX with LO 4.2.5.2. Other platforms unknown
Steps to reproduce
1. Load the attached Writer document
(which contains a 3x3 table in which A2:A3 and B2:C2 are merged cells, and the letters "a" "b" and "c" are placed in cells C1, B2 and C3 respectively)
2. Select and cut the range C1:C3 (the three cells containing the "a" "b" and "c")
3. Place the cursor in cell B2
4. Repeatedly paste then undo
Result
Despite the fact that the selection is unchanged, and the cursor is not moved, the three charaters are placed differently in each paste-undo cycle. After a couple of cycles, the table structure is corrupted and LO crashes
