Hello,
we have a document that causes Document.UpdateFields() to hang. The method does not return.
var document = new Document("Test.docx");
document.UpdateFields();
The document is 11 pages long. I can not attach the document because it is confidential.
I tested various Aspose.Words versions: The bug seems to be introduced in version 20.11.0 and is also present in version 21.5.0. The hang does not occur in version 20.10.0.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to say what the problem is without the document. We need your specific file to be able to reproduce the exact problem on our end. Please note that it is safe to attach files in the forum. If you attach your file here, then only you and Aspose staff members can download them. You can also remove any sensitive information by replacing it with dummy data instead. We will be able to start investigation into your scenario as soon as you provide required document to reproduce.
