Bug ID: 92140
Summary: Calc Appears To Do Row & Column Inserts The Hard Way
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I'm running an older laptop with a Celeron cpu and onlu 4GB of RAM, so I know
it when an application becomes labored, and this happened repeatedly with Calc.
The heart of the problem was column and row inserts and deletes, because Calc
apparently goes the whole distance when doing either, even though the actual
matrix that needs to be adjusted can be defined as a rectangle set at the
maximum column by the maximum row. This is a finite region, and columns, rows,
and cell inserts or deletes do not have to go beyond this area.
But apparently Calc see the world in a different light, at least judging by my
PC's conduct would suggest. It did not get its act together until I saved the
work in progress, then it got perky again.
What I do now is avoid row and column inserts and delets, and just work with a
highlighted selection of cells. It takes a bit longer and a few more steps to
go through, but at least my PC does not get bogged down.
It occurs to me that any spreadsheet is defined as a maxrix (or rectangle)
where you go from $A$1 to $column$row, where column is the maximum column
actually in use, and row is likewise the maximum row in use. If Calc limited
its inserts and deletes to this area, it would be faster and my PC would not
suffer as much.
