TOC refresh link crashes oneMore

[iAnyKey]

Problem to Solve

TOC of a note can only be inserted once. In case if new sections are added afterwards and you try to update the existing TOC by clicking refresh button, the whole addon will become unresponsive.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add new note
2. Add several sections and assing Heading styles accordingly
3. Add TOC
4. Modify existing note structure (e.g. add a section/rename a section/...)
5. Try to update the TOC by clicling the [Refresh] link

Expected Behavior

TOC should become updated and reflect the changes, which have been made in step 4.
Addon should remain responsive

Environment (if applicable)

• OneNote Version: Microsoft® OneNote® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2310 Build 16.0.16924.20054) 64-bit
• OneMore Version: 6.0.1

THE FINE PRINT This is a hobby project that I started for myself. I'm happy to take requests and will promise to
consider each one carefully but offer no guarantees that I will ultimately agree to their
usefulness or have time to implement any of them. If OneNote offers a "close enough" work-around
then I will probably reject the request - you've been warned!

I can't seem to reproduce this. Can you provide a more clear example of the type of content you're adding and changes you make before the refresh?

[iAnyKey]

It's about changing the caption's Text. For instance it happens to me if i try to change follwing structure:

1. section A
    Some regular text
2. section B
3. section C

Into this:

1. section A
    Some regular text
2. section BBB
3. section C

And then try to refresh the TOC. It will not change the caption of section B and just stops responding.

I would really Mike to Attaché some Screenshots, but the test note page also becomes "unchangeable" for oneMore. So you need to create a New note instance after such crash.

[stevencohn]

like this?

[iAnyKey]

Well exactly...
I think I need to look for the cause deeper on my setup.
maybe you have any hints?

[stevencohn]

There is one spot where OneMore updates a width XML attribute that perhaps isn't formatted correctly, resulting in the silly "7865479000000000.0" value. I can correct that, even though I haven't been able to repro the use case or confirm whether that will fix it.

Just tried to reproduce the issue on my 2nd personal device...and I couldnt. Everything worked fine.

The only difference is the newer onenote version (16.0.16924.20180 vs 16.0.17029.20108) but older and unmanaged windows (Windows 11 Enterprise, Version 22H2, Build 22621, 64 bit vs Windows 11 Professional, Version 23H2, Build 22621, 64 bit).

Could the addon functionality be affected by some restrictive group policies?

Still unable to repro. But I added in some extra validation.
