[HELP] fdo#44721 (nearly) infinite loop & memory consumption

I'd appreciate some help on fdo#44721; it is not directly in my area
of expertise, but is very crippling for Base / Report Builder users:
one cannot resize a control with the mouse: LibreOffice freezes and
takes up all memory.

Someone more familiar with the UI parts of LibreOffice would be *much*
more efficient than me on this bug.

Thanks in advance.

Subject: [PATCH] fdo#48018 legacy reports do not sort by group columns

Legacy report means done with the "old" report system, as opposed to
with report builder.

This was caused by a misguided attempt to sort-of work around i#110536
instead of fixing it cleanly. Revert that.

Apparently the idea was to not explicitly set grouping columns as
sorting columns, but that the report execution would automagically add
grouping columns at begin of sorting list at report execution
time. That's a bad idea for at least two reasons:
 * This does not allow the user to chose ASC/DESC for grouping columns
 * In rare / advanced cases, sorting on another column *before*
   grouping is desirable.
Plus, the "automagic adding" part apparently wasn't implemented
anyway.
