Description lb 2021-06-02 22:00:51 UTC
Description:
calc does not allow to show large file and crashes too easily although MS excel works perfectly with exactly the same file

I am using a large data matrix (700MB), and it is impossible to show columns after AMJ (no problem with excel).
I thought, data is just not displayed but available, but actually is not loaded therefore not saved, and lost !
2.after few minutes program crashed regularly

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open large file : error message saying "file too large, will not show all columns"
Actually it is impossible to show columns after AMJ (no problem with excel) which is very small number
I thought, data is just not displayed but available, but actually is not loaded therefore not saved, and lost !
2.after few minutes program crashed regularly
3.

Actual Results:
1. impossible to show and access data in columns after AMJ
2. crash after few minutes regularly

Expected Results:
1. should show all data when scrolling (like excel does) 
2. should manage memory and paging better to avoid crashing all the time with large files (again  excel show no issue with the same file)


Reproducible: Always

You can enable Menu/Tools/Options/Advanced - Enable experimental options, to get more columns, but it is in development, so no too much to work.

This is the meta bug about that, https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133764

If you have crashes, please add a new bug report, with a sample file, detailing as much as possible how to reproduce it.

Please test with a clean profile, Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode
