          Issue ID: 128543
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: (SOLUTION FOUND) Navigator on Linux and on MacOS
                    Writer crashes when trying to move chapters around.
           Product: General
           Version: 4.1.13
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: P5 (lowest)
         Component: ui
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: davepolit@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

There is a potential issue with the component View -> Navigator IF you have
imported some chapters from Word. In this case, moving chapters up or down
inside Navigator MAY very quickly lead to a crash. 

IF this is the case, follow the following steps:

1) Put the problematic file into a new empty folder A.
2) Rename this problematic file from xxx.odt to xxx.zip.
3) Unzip this file. You will see amongst others a file named "styles.xml". In
my case this was 50Kb in size.

Next:

1) Again create a new empty folder B.
2) Create a new empty file and save it in this new folder.
3) Rename this empty file from yyy.odt to yyy.zip
4) Unzip this file. You will see again a "styles.xml" file. In my case it is
quite small, only 10Kb.

Then:

1) Overwrite the large "styles.xml" in folder A with the smaller "styles.xml"
from folder B.
2) Delete the xxx.zip file
3) Mark all your files in folder A and zip them.
4) rename your xxx.zip back to xxx.odt

The problem has disappeared.

You will however need to recreate a number of personal Styles for your own use.

This method is generally useful when imported Word documents contain a dozens
and dozens of automatically created styles such as "conten001" etc. Word often
creates loads of new styles without the user even knowing about it.
