Writer file that causes the crash

Typing a character after the words "same reasons as" in paragraph 3.e on page 3 of the attached file causes an immediate crash.

As described. Besides the fact, that the whole document is a large deep nested list, I see nothing special.

Comment 3 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2013-06-06 09:51:52 UTC 
I reproduced the described crash on Windows 7 with AOO 3.4.1, OOo 3.3 and OOo 3.2.1
Comment 4 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2013-06-06 10:25:10 UTC 
Further investigation reveals the following:
- The content of the first footnote has been put into a section.
- This section already causes some layout glitches.
-- Directly after opening there is an empty footnote container on page 3 which belongs to the first footnote.
-- Clicking on this empty container let the complete footnote vanish.
-- Editing the document brings back the footnote, but badly formatted.
- The "footnote section" together with the image anchored inside the footnote causes some trouble in the layout algorithm which results in a crash.

Workaround:
- Open the document
- Menu Format - Sections
- Remove the only existing section which is named "Section1" by clicking the Remove button
- Confirm the dialog with Ok button
--> Typing a character after the words "same reasons as" in paragraph 3.e on page 3 no longer causes a crash in AOO 3.4.1

remove showstopper request because there is a workaround in place and I don't see the chance that we will get a fix in time.

The problem needs deeper investigation in the layout code and requires more time.
