--- Comment #4 from [email protected] --- I vote to reopen this "Feature" report. I created a trivial formula in a cell (=A1+B1), copied it, selected the whole column and pasted it. LO hangs 1 core 100% -> after 5min Mem fills up (8Gb) -> System hangs The mem fillup rate is not linear, it "lingers" a while at 1 to 1.5 Gb and then goes to 80% in 2 minutes or so. This is problematic. I understand the argument for this "do this to a potentially infinite column of this sheet". In these Programs however, pasting something into a column largely means: "Please column, behave this way!". Otherwise I'd recommend to disable pasting into columns, because it is almost never what you want it to do. Even Gnumeric is smart enough to catch this by asking "Do you really want to paste 65535 copies?(y/n)"! And even when I say yes it doesn't die as LO does. As I understand it their infinity is only about 6% of your infinity but, well, at least I can paste into a column without an adrenaline rush. I dare not fiddle with the controls as this is my first bug report here, but please oh please rethink this one.
