Hi :)
In previous cases i think it's usually turned out to be a corrupted file.

1.  So, can you create a copy of the file as it is so that if anything else 
goes wrong with it then at least you have this new back-up?
2.  Are there older versions of the file that you can go back to?
3.  Are you also having troubles with other files or is it just this one?

4.  It's vaguely possible that it's your install of LibreOffice.  1st thing is 
to rename your user-profile to see if that changes anything useful
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile
Any better yet?

5.  If you go to
Tools - Options - Memory
then you can boost the amount of memory that LO can use for various things.  
It's defaults are quite low because LibreOffice is often used on far lower-spec 
machines than yours.

6.  If you used the package manager to install then try it's repair broken packages 
feature.  However LibreOffice is an exception to the usual rule and it's often better to download 
LibreOffice from upstream directly from the LibreOffice website rather than install a 
tweaked version from a distro's repos.  Have you been able to check your download was ok?  Md5sum 
or Sha should
be easy to check but if not (if, like me, you don't know how to) then perhaps 
just re-download and re-install.

7.  Can you try an earlier version of LibreOffice?  The 3.5.7 would be a good 
one to try.  The higher that 3rd digit the more stable the release tends to be. 
 Usually past x.x.4 the difference is fairly minor and the 3.6.x branch has 
already reached a high enough 3rd digit for it to be unlikely to have any 
problems.  The advantage of the newer branch is better compatibility with MS 
formats and greater functionality.  Neither of those sounds important for you 
right now though.


8.  Someone with more knowledge of LO than me is likely to give a better answer 
soon if not already but my list is roughly what i would do in the order i would 
do it.

Until then good luck and please let us know how this goes
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

ok, I made a copy of the file, on this copy I tryed to delete the 
archivi sheet, it is empty, I launched this yesterday at 21:00, this 
morning at 09:00 it was still there working, so I decided to adopt 
another strategy :-)
I opened a new spreadsheet, copied (right click on 
sheetcopy/moveselect copyselect the new spreadsheetok) the first 
sheet, the copy was very fast, I made the same with the second.
With the third it takes about 20seconds, a suspect rise to me, the third 
was only data sheet, no formulas, so I added a sheet in the new 
spreadsheet and copied only data, the same with the other sheets.
now the spreadsheet is very more fast than before, but the formatting 
parameters hasn't been transferred at all, many things has to be redone 
in the appearence and fonts and styles, but now it is possible to work 
with it.

do you think it is a defective file?? or other??
thanks bye :-) pier :-)

Hi :)
It sounds like there was probably some weird problem in the file.  

Can you make a bac-up copy of the new version that does work and then copy from 
the original dodgy file try copypaste but do a Paste Special instead of a 
normal paste
Ctrl Shift v
or  from the menus try
Edit - Paste Special
Either way try to untick all the options except formats.  Hopefully that 
might fix the formats without re-introducing the problem.  If the problem does 
happen again after pasting the formats then you have the copy you made to use 
instead.  
Regards from
Tom :)
