I have tried also using LibreOffice from ppa and it still crashes.

As soon as I press Ctrl+Z after inserting the page break at the beginning of the document, Writer crashes.

Marked regression but repro also in 4.1, not consistently, but other time it doesn't crash it will on 2nd Insert. Also repro in 43all oldest. So I remove regression.

Also crashed on second insert, after undo, in OOo 3.3, let's mark as inherited.

I can still crash it by successively undoing a re-doing after inserting a page break once. It is quite inconsistent, once it crashed after 3 undo-redo cycles, once after 30+.

Do you see the same thing?

I don't repro a crash while the program is open on Windows. However, I did repro a crash after closing the program. I inserted a comment in the code before in sw\source\core\layout\ftnfrm.cxx (line 952) that a crash could happen there. I think it's a heap-use-after-free error because the debugger didn't show what was wrong. I will try investigating on Linux to see if I get any ASAN heap-use-after-frees.

Confirmed heap-use-after-free ASAN error on Linux when doing undo. It's not clear yet how to solve it...

An attempt to fix this is at: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/165197. However, it still asserts in debug build.

I have confirmed that this bug is still present in version 24.2. When inserting a page break followed by undo in the sample document there is a crash.
