Description lee.zar 2022-12-24 20:03:03 UTC
Description:
Sometimes when I select multiple cells (using the SHIFT key), calc goes into an infinite loop.  This happens on many different spreadsheets.  After restarting CALC, it fails to recover any of the changes made to the document prior to the hang.  I encounter this about once a day, and has been a problem on multiple versions of LO.  The problem is not reliably reproducible.  Is there any information I can obtain to help diagnose this problem?
Thank you!

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select two adjacent cells using SHIFT key (vertical or horizontal)
2.CALC goes into infinite loop (spinning color wheel)
3.

Actual Results:
See above.

Expected Results:
CALC should not hang.


Reproducible: Sometimes

This problem may be similar to the one reported in Bug 99623 which was due to a 3rd-party clipboard manager.  I am doing more analysis and will update with my findings.

After doing more testing, I am reasonably certain this is not a problem in LO.  It appears to be due to a conflict with an IOs app called Paste (https://pasteapp.io/) that keeps a history of items copied to the clipboard.  After having disabled Paste from interacting with LO, the problem no longer occurs.  I will change this case to Resolved.
