--- Comment #5 from Mark Dunn <[email protected]> --- So to be clear. I download: https://api.coronavirus.data.gov.uk/v2/data?areaType=region&metric=newCasesBySpecimenDateAgeDemographics&format=csv every day, which as you say is unwieldy I then select the sheet and "insert/pivot" to obtain a much more wieldy table of cases (Area Name by Date by Age Group if you are interested) Currently that is 20 * 578 cells It is a reasonable thing for calc to do quickly. But sometimes I have missed "insert/pivot table" and hit "insert/chart" by mistake. (I use "insert/chart" a lot in my work.) It is the consequence of this very easy mistake which is the problem. Forcing me to crash out of LibreOffice loses all the work in ALL documents for up to 10 minutes the last auto-save. In my case this is three spreadsheets and a document. It seems that miguelangelrv already knows that this will cause calc problems with his developer-esque comment "What can we expect?. A graph with 100000 points and seven data series." If you do not know how to a) keep the UI responsive and b) insert an asynchronous cancel without affecting performance, then maybe you should query the user's intent before embarking on an endless?! task. NOTE: Performing this same task on a slightly less powerful machine in Excel 2010 produced a chart in 4 seconds. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
