Description pier andre 2018-03-31 11:59:20 UTC
on my laptop and desktop pc with (8gb of ram and i7 and i3) with windows 7 pro, using calc, writer and draw, if I select text:
-in writer directly the text;
-in calc inside the formula bar;
-in draw selecting text inside a text box;
and copy, libreoffice hangs and I cannot do anything with it for 3-5 seconds.
If you need other details please ask me :-)
manythanks, ciao, pier

Please copy and paste here the contents of your Help - About from your Windows LibreOffice. This allows us to know more about your system.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.

here is the contents of my Help - About from my laptop Windows LibreOffice:
Version: 6.0.2.1 (x64)

CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 6.1; UI render: default; 
Locale: it-IT (it_IT); Calc: group

see log: f7f06a8f319e4b62f9bc5095aa112a65d2f3ac89
Comment 5 Buovjaga 2018-04-03 12:08:35 UTC
What if you start LibreOffice in Safe mode and try copying text? It can be done from the Start menu entry or Help - Restart in safe mode and then Continue in safe mode.
Comment 6 pier andre 2018-04-03 12:20:42 UTC
started in safe mode:
it happen the same
but I have to correct a thing in my first post :
using calc, writer and draw, if I select text:
-in writer directly the text;>>>>this is wrong, it only happen selecting text in a text box and happen also in safe mode
-in calc inside the formula bar; >>>this happen also in safe mode
-in draw selecting text inside a text box;>>>this happen also in safe mode

manythanks, ciao, pier :-)

This also happens to me..sometimes. Now I'm on 5.4.7 but I experienced on 5.3 and before. Can't remember when it started. 
Problem with this issue is not being reproducible, I guess. 
What seems like a "few seconds hang" is probably a dump. 

2 possible solutions:
-  run LO via procdump (always or before longer work with copying text) to get a dump 
- upgrade LO to new versions and test whether it happens
Comment 12 tommy27 2018-06-27 15:40:46 UTC
Ok, let's set status to NEW and version to "5.3 all versions"
thanks Timur for feedback.
Comment 13 Timur 2018-06-27 15:57:39 UTC
NeedInfo is quite appropriate, until we get some backtrace or steps.
Comment 14 Xisco Faulí 2018-06-28 09:37:42 UTC
Dear pier andre,
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
Comment 15 pier andre 2018-06-28 12:41:39 UTC
Hi, I tried with: Versione: 6.0.5.2 (x64)
Build ID: 54c8cbb85f300ac59db32fe8a675ff7683cd5a16
Thread CPU: 8; SO: Windows 6.1; Resa interfaccia: predefinito; 
Versione locale: it-IT (it_IT); Calc: group

with windows7, 
-it happens also copying the text above from the help>about libreoffice;
-it happens in draw selecting text inside a text box;

+it doesn't happen in writer selecting text in a text box, here also crashed with a draw and a writer windows opened but retrying is ok;
+it doesn't happen in calc selecting text inside the formula bar and in a text box;
It seems that the problem in writer and in calc is solved, and the problem remain only in draw and in the help>about libreoffice window.
Ciao, P
Comment 16 Roman Kuznetsov 2018-06-28 13:11:19 UTC
don't repro in LO 6.1 beta 2 on Windows 7
Comment 17 Timur 2018-06-28 16:45:41 UTC
Good catch. 

1. Open Help-About
2. Select and copy text and immediately click Close
3. You can see it takes 6 seconds until window is closed. 
Repro way back to OO and now with 6.2+ master in Windows 7. 

Also reproduced slowness in Draw with text box in master.
1. Create text box with some text
2. Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, click outside, Ctrl+V
3. You see it takes time to paste.
