Confirmed via bug 158499 comment 7.
But the website seems heavy to load, at least 10 seconds on my computer.
Created attachment 193633 [details] VerySleepy Stack The web.archive.org is a good example of a 'slow' website (to be expected for an archive). Based on the stack it's more or less like bug 45307 comment 35. LibreOffice is trying to download the images files, until time-out hits. Not sure if it's downloading in parallel or sequential. Or how many images can be requested at once (server side configuration) The fun part. The document will scroll to bottom when paste finishes (normal). However, LibreOffice will try to fetch the missing images, which it failed to load on the initial paste if you scroll onto a page with missing images. Same happens also on file-open. It will try to fetch the missing images again (freeze). Surely nice to attempt to add the missing images.. but well there is a price --- * It might be that the the fetching of those images isn't run on a different thread in the background, or it is but somehow interacting with main thread causing freeze. * There is no 'update link' dialog on file-open. Saying should I download the missing images, which can be slow. It simply attempts it. A 404 error is quick but available but with slow response times (ping) or very low data transfer speeds * Another observation: although the fetch might succeed on second, third, fourth, fifth attempt, those don't necessary show up in the document (screencast) for some reason.. Those do appear after save and reload (although not 100% sure, because it froze on file-open)
