I thought that the application had crashed but if it is left long enough it eventually completes. The writer document is quite large (281 pages and 667kb) with hundreds of DDE links to an ODS spreadsheet. LibreOffice was updated to version 5.3.4.2 (x64) (Build ID: f82d347ccc0be322489bf7da61d7e4ad13fe2ff3) a few hours before. This was the first file edit operation performed after the upgrade. The problem has occurred on two separate laptops editing the same file.
I timed the save document function. It took 10 minutes 23 seconds to save my file. There doesn't appear to be any problem saving spreadsheets in Libre Office Calc.
Hello, What was the saving time in the previous version of LibreOffice? OTOH, please attach a sample document, as this makes it easier for us to verify the bug. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the requested document is provided. (Please note that the attachment will be public, remove any sensitive information before attaching it. See https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FAQ#How_can_I_eliminate_confidential_data_from_a_sample_document.3F for help on how to do so.)

The save process is still taking a long time, although I haven't timed it today it is far from acceptable. I haven't had time to work on the document all week, but there is a slight difference in the characteristics of the save. A week ago the progress bar used to go to say 10% and then stop for ages, today it went to say 95% and then stopped. I don't know whether this is significant. Before the problem occurred it would take less than a minute to save this document. To connect the two files you have to run a macro called "Change DDE pointer" in the text document and insert the full address and file name of the spreadsheet. The files that I am using are fully populated with data from the spreadsheet and there are network diagrams inserted into the text document. However, the ones that I have uploaded are empty of this data because the data and diagrams are confidential to my clients.
Took me about 6 seconds to save. On a Windows virtual machine which has 16 GB of memory allocated. To speed up testing with different versions, I created the path in the original links and put the .ods in there.

I can't reproduce it in Version: 6.0.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: f94d98db1be8c27e470b39d4b16ed406db3aef87 CPU threads: 1; OS: Windows 6.1; UI render: default; Locale: es-ES (es_ES); Calc: group Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
Report wasn't precise enough: - are links in file correct (all but one are local, and one is Dropbox) - are all links updated on open - are macros allowed First I updated all links, then opened file updated and with macros. I had slow open and save with 5.3.4 so somewhat confirmed. But open and save normal with 6.1+ master and 5.4.3, 8 seconds, so looks fixed. So I'll close as WFM. Please set back to Unconfirmed if tested otherwise. Please test with different versions before reporting: http://tdf.io/siguiexe
Created attachment 138451 [details] debug WinDBG from dump with procdump - LO 6.1+ OK, I forgot one thing: there's a dump seen with procdump. So I'll set to New for that.
I have been testing this issue again lately and it appears to be resolved for me. I have performed a few updates of Libre Office and, of course, Windows so some change must have fixed the problem. Thanks for your help.
Thanks for retesting with the latest version. Setting to RESOLVED WORKSFORME as the commit fixing this issue hasn't been identified.
