Description Doaro 2020-11-21 11:32:32 UTC
Description:
Calc: Working on Charts of a huge table (35000 lines, 30 columns)cause a system hang up, especially when modifying the chart (never ending processor load of 100%). For example in Excel you get the message "calculating cell ..", so you know, why the system is slow. In LO you never know why. But often thoses processes don't even end after an hour or more. So i got to restart LO. 
Things are so delicate, that i don't dare to make changes. So i get back to Excel. 

My System: Mint 18.3 Sylvia with KFCE; LO 5.1.6.2
 
Beim Arbeiten in einer Grafik über einen grossen Tabellenbereich kann es passieren, dass sich das Programm "aufhängt" bzw man kann nicht erkennen, welcher Prozess kein Ende findet (Prozessorauslastung 100%). In Excel wird zB angezeigt "wird berechnet". Dann weiss man wenigstens, warum nichts weiter geht.  Die Sache ist so heikel, dass ich mich nicht mehr traue, Änderungen einzugeben.

Mein System: Mint 18.3 Sylvia mit KFCE; LO 5.1.6.2

Actual Results:
It is not possible to change the related column in a chart. 
Almost any change in an existing Chart over 35000 cells leads to a crash.
Only deleting the chart and starting a new one leads further. 
If you want, i can send you the table. 

Expected Results:
In big data the programm should suck in the related data like a biological cell does with a dna. 
It should not start working before ending to type the command. 
There should be a key to stop the execution when you notice a mistake and fall back to the state before. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
It is a pitty, that you have to restart not only the hungup table, not only the programm (Calc), but the whole Libre Office. 
It is fine, that it is possible to resurrect all files, but when you have 25 files it's still an tiresome work. 
Isn't it possible at least to sepparate Calc from Writer or Impress?

5.X version are EOL, like 6.0.X, 6.1.X, 6.2.X, 6.3.X and soon 6.4.X

Last stable LO version 6.4.7 but you can also try brand new 7.0.3

You can also try LO from PPA (see https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa).
Since according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Mint_version_history, Mint 18.3 Sylvia is based on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus), you must choose LO package accordingly.
Anyway, the simplest would be to upgrade Mint to 20 (Ulyana).
