To reproduce the bug: Open a large table in LO Calc (e.g. take DOMA.DBF (more than 1 million lines) from here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101745, open it in Libreoffice, wait untill it is imported, than save it in ODS and try to, for example, sort the whole table. It will take a very long time. While it is being processed, try to open another Libreoffice Calc document. It cannot be opened when the other one is being processed. Manjaro Linux (based on Arch Linux), KDE, Linux kernel 4.7, $ libreoffice --version LibreOffice 5.2.0.4 20m0(Build:4) $ plasmashell --version plasmashell 5.7.3
It was opened after the first table had been processed. So it is put into queu
And it seems that if one table gets freezed for some reason. all other operations are also queed, so all other opened tables also have to freeze.
Consulted developers on IRC and closing this as wontfix.
