Public bug reported:

I've got a 20,129 word (122.5 kB) ODT with a number of headings and a
table of contents. I've got a heading (the last heading in the document)
which was Heading 1 (style), I think, but is now Heading 2. The table of
contents indicates that it is Heading 1 (hence I think it was probably
originally Heading 1), I make it Heading 2 and update the table of
contents and the content under the heading, as well as the heading
itself, disappears, despite the heading still being on the table of
contents.
I then tried changing the heading to Heading 1 and updating the index to
see what would happen, and it becomes clear that the text is being cut
off from the document, not that it's actually gone (the word count only
seems to change by 2 each time this happens).

I can't post the file since it's possible it would cause a false
positive, as it were, with plagiarism software, and it has a lot of
copyrighted text, but I've posted screencasts demonstrating the issue.

Workaround: Save the file and re-open, the text that was cut off will
now be visible again (even with the table of contents update)!
