Unending loop of re-layouts.
Created attachment 62246 [details] ODP showing the problem Looping was fixed meanwhile and the linked doc doesn't overlap any longer. Attaching a new file that demonstrates that the problem is still present.
Created attachment 62247 [details] ODT that shows that oowriter is buggy too if it comes to overlapping lines :) This ODT demonstrates that the problem is even more worse if the paragraph defines a background color. Aso the ODT shows that oowriter has a serious problm there too (the ODT was produced with oowriter btw - try to select the yellow line).
Case in comment #3 was fixed with commit d85d4aef446c9f8c3eb5b4ba9a6dd96c6e74ea55 . The case is comment #4 is still a valid bug.
See also http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/102100/ for an analysis and suggestion for a solution of the remaining problem.
