Drag and drop results in hung program

OS: WIndows 11 with latest update
LO Version: 25.8.2.2 (also experience on 25.6)

When moving a selected phrase that had been formatted (say bold, Ubuntu font), to any location in a paragraph or bullet point (in the same slide), the program hangs. Result is a forced stoppage via Task manager. When office restarts, it asks to recover files that were open at the time the hung-episode happened.
Need Help!!!

Try this, click Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View and tick the box Force Skia software rendering. Allow LibreOffice to restart and see if the problem is resolved.
