Description Szymon Tomasz Stefanek 2019-06-04 00:29:09 UTC
Description:
Calc 6.2.2.2 on KUbuntu Linux. After pasting text in a cell that already contains text calc stops accepting keyboard input for several seconds. This is very reproducible (see steps below).

I also have seen a similar behavior in Writer but it seems to be harder to reproduce. It sometimes stops accepting input when a certain document is opened or after pasting a certain piece of document. Not reproducible with all documents (though a document that is affected seems to be always affected).

I apologize if this has already been reported. I couldn't find a similar bug.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open Calc under Ubuntu linux (others?)
2. Type text in cell B3 = FOO
3. Type text in cell B4 = BAR
4. Hit CTRL+C to copy text from cell B4
5. Move to cell B3
6. Hit CTRL+V to paste the text.
7. Choose "Yes" in the dialog that warns about pasting data in a cell that already contains data
8. Now try to input text anywhere: it doesn't work for 20-30 seconds.

Actual Results:
Calc stops accepting keyboard input.

Expected Results:
Calc accepts keyboard input as usual.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Thank you for reporting the bug.
it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice.
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.

You are right,

I have upgraded libreoffice to the newest ubuntu packages (6.2.3.2)
and the problem went away.

Sorry for the noise. Closing.
