Bug ID: 152431
Summary: Line count resets to zero after 65535
Product: LibreOffice

Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED

Text file with 65535 non-blank lines
Description:
In LibreOffice Writer document statistics, the line number can not exceed 65535
and it resets to zero after that. This shows the usage of 16 bit unsigned
integer for the line count.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a file containing 65535 non-blank lines. For example:
for i in {1..65535}; do echo .; done > lines.txt
Alternatively, you can download and use the attachment (lines.txt) from this
issue.
2. Open the file
3. Go to File > Properties > Statistics and click Update. See 65535 in the
lines.
4. Add a new non-blank line.
3. Count the statistics again, just like step 3.
Actual Results:
The line count is shown as 0.
Expected Results:
The line count should be 65536. Using a 32 bit unsigend integer can increase
the limit to 2^32-1=4,294,967,295 (~4.3 billion) which is much better, and is a
good practical limit.
Reproducible: Always
