Bug ID: 158948
Summary: LibreOffice bugs and freezes when I work between 2
different windows
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: pseudon...@octy.fr
Description:
Hello,
To extract data from a not so small calc *.ods file (650ko file, 1200 lines
sheet, with macros in it but not in the active sheet), I created a new calc
*.ods file, having one on the left side of my screen and another on the right
side of my screen, and I have processed a lot of copy and past between the two
windows.
It wasn't smooth at all, and I've got several oddities :
- when pasting to the second window, the cell from the first one was deleted
(as if I did a "cut and paste", but I'm sure that several times it disappeared
after a "ctrl c" + "ctrl v"). This bug appeared quite often before I escaped
the active cell on window 1 before pasting the data (text) in the second cell
-LibreOffice was sometimes rather slow for doing which seems trivial tasks
(mainly copy & paste and calculating easy formulas (sums and small ratios)
-LibreOffice stopped responding several times when I tried to extract my data,
and I've lost several work hours
The last item leads to the following note : I've used LibreOffice (and before
that OpenOffice) for a lot of years, and I've always been very happy with the
recovering data features when the application closed abnormally, and I've
nearly never lost data and work-time (and because of that I lost the habit
doing frequently "ctrl +s" to avoid losing new data when working with the
LibreOffice suite). Since I've updated to Debian 12 and LibreOffice 7.4.7.2
mid-December, crashes occurred 3 times, and the recovering tools didn't recover
anything each time. I'm using Debian stable because I don't need to have the
flashing new software, but I want something that works. It seems to me that
with Debian 12 and LibreOffice 7.4.7.2, that's not the case anymore, and that's
very sad.
I want to add that I thank you all a lot for your work (even if this time I
write to you to show grievance), and I beg you to excuse me for my bad English.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Have a quite large calc file with text (not always plainly formatted) in a
window
2.Have a new calc file in another window
3.Process a large number of copy & pastes between the two windows
More precisely :
- click on a cell in window 1
- click on input line in window 1 (to select the text without formatting)
- ctrl + c to copy
- click on a cell in window 2
- click on input line in window 2
- ctrl + v to paste
After about 10 iterations, you should see some bugs, firstly the cell on
windows 1 whose content is deleted. If you try ctrl + z on window 1 to cancel,
you should see other weird things.
Actual Results:
-Data disappearance from first window (even if it isn't cut & paste)
-LibreOffice freezing/ 100% processor-infinite-loop
-data loss when we have to restart LibreOffice
Expected Results:
Only a plain copy&paste behaviour
Reproducible: Sometimes
User Profile Reset: Yes
