Git isn't much use with the odt format. I opened a chapter of the Calc User Guide (0302CG33-EnterEditFormatData.odt) that has 24 pages, 29 figures, many small tables, a few inserted comments and several tracked changes. I successfully saved it as an fodt and I could reopen it. I have not proofread the fodt but there are no obvious formatting problems. However, if I make even a tiny edit, adding one letter, and save the file, OpenOffice hangs when I try to reopen the file.. I eventually get the Windows message "OpenOffice 4.1.14 is not responding". I also tried the document in the bugzilla issue and I successfully made a small edit to that. I would be willing to run tests to discover what document features cause problems if that is likely to lead to fixing the problem. I have a Linux Mint system in addition to a WIndows 10 system.
