Short description of error
If you have a subdivided mesh, and select and hide faces in edit mode, attempting to un-subdivide the mesh with the multiresolution modifier results in blender freezing completely for ever.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible).
From scratch
From blender file
Extra notes
One time the bug showed up differently for me in 4.2, instead of freezing, it completed the operation, but when I looked at the model, all the hidden faces had merged into one face, making a section of the model vanish. I couldn't get this to happen again on the example file, but it might give some insight.
I can confirm the issue with the provided file.
Profiling this it seems like Blender gets stuck in
BM_edge_share_quad_check
. I will add the Modeling module to this, sorry if this is the wrong module.It's not a crash, but the behaviour is just as bad as a crash, so I will set to high severity like the triaging module has been asked to do for crashes.
Just confirming that this behavior extends all the way back to 2.93 when this feature was introduced.
Here's a file that demonstrates the behavior mentioned in the original post in the
Extra Notes
sectionI think the key takeaway here is that the operator is taking visibility into consideration somewhere which either causes the infinite (?) loop seen in some meshes or in the fact that hidden faces are merged oddly
Should have a fix for this up for PR shortly.

@ideasman42 hi, safe to backport the fix?
@PratikPB2123 yes, added along with:

@ideasman42 - Do you think this should be considered for 3.6 as well, possibly 3.3 (unsure since our final LTS release for that version is only in a few weeks)?
