Description:
Calc hangs up when copying any cell. This bug is repeatable every time. I've left it for 20 minutes or more and it's still unresponsive (the hourglass is shown).  Task Manager shows CPU and memory use. Had to kill the process. It used to work before I installed Surfshark VPN.  I killed all Surfshark processes and tried again. This solved the problem.  I then reloaded Surfshark and disabled its "No Borders" setting.  The problem with Calc seems to be gone.  Prior to that I updated LIbreoffice to 7.6.5.2, started LibreOFfice in Safe mode, and rebooted a couple of times. Nothing else resolved the bug.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter data or a formula into any cell
2.Select the cell 
3.click CTRL-C (or select copy from menu)


Actual Results:
Calc becomes unresponsive, displaying an hourglass.  TM shows CPU and memory use.

Expected Results:
It shouldn't hang


Reproducible: Always

Are other apps affected, i.e. do you have a similar problem copying from other apps when Surfshark NoBorders is on?
Does it happen also with a brand new Calc file with just random, simple data in the cells?

Wondering if these are related:
