Steps to Reproduce: I have 64GB of RAM in my laptop. I expect everyone can reproduce this by strictly following these steps: 1) Allow this page to fully load in firefox (in a new tab): http://www.amorosity.com/SlingBlade/ (wait until the page is finished loading) 2) Click into the page (to give it focus) and then hit ctrl-a (to select all contents in the page), then hit ctrl-c (coping the entire page's contents into memory). 3) Open LibreOffice writer, and paste your clipboard into a blank page. Actual Results: >From this point forward, LibreOffice Writer will be unusable, and the whole >GNOME desktop will lock up (for almost a whole minute) each time you try to >navigate the LibreOffice Writer page. Expected Results: I expect the application to either efficiently handle the task or decline to handle the task. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: So, this is a bug in LibreOffice Writer for sure; if it can't handle the work, it should decline it. Additionally, this is bug in the GNOME desktop, because no single application's workload should ever be allowed to lock up a multi-task desktop environment.

I don't mind waiting for all the images to get loaded. The main point here, is that performance is not only slow during the initial paste. After the images get fully loaded into the word processing document, interacting with the document becomes impractical. Everything you try to do makes the application hang for several seconds. I have 4 gigabytes of RAM available for LibreOffice writer to use as it wishes, but it must be using some type of swap file (instead) while I'm modifying this large document. However, I have a really fast solid-state hard drive, so you'd think that even that would be fast on my machine. My machine should have the specs to enable me the ability to handle converting this large web page into a word processing document. Yes there are other ways to achieve what I'm trying to do, but this bug is about how LibreOffice can't handle the job. If it was programmed just right, it would make use of the resources my computer would gladly provide it, and scale up to this rather intensive task.
