Description: When tryping a capital A in a large document, and accidentally hitting Ctrl-A, Writer crashes trying to "select all". Doc size:15m Characters plus. This happened also in Open Office before I upgraded O/S to Linux Mint and started as soon as the document went much above a million characters if I remember rightly. (it's a book, around 5,000 pages). I have reasons why I want it in one file. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load a very large document and work on it without saving 2. Press Ctrl-A 3. Actual Results: Writer goes into such a long loop trying to select all the text, that it times out and crashes, er, well It seems to crash, I tried leaving it for an hour or so, but it had crashed Expected Results: Loss of all work since last save, and often a problem even recovering from the last auto-save, so recovery data usually needs to be discarded and the file reopened. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Would it be possible to disable the left Ctrl button so that a miss trype of Ctrl-A doesn't cause this problem? It's a real nuisance when you have just tryped a whole page and lose it! User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0
