Description bugzilla 2013-01-29 14:15:37 UTC
When pasting something while accidently the topleft button was hit (everything is selected) instead of the intended first field (a:!) LO hangs and crashs.
Comment 1 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2013-01-29 15:13:29 UTC
[Reproducible] with "LibO  4.0.0.2 rc   -  GERMAN UI / German Locale  [Build ID: 5991f37846fc3763493029c4958b57282c2597e)]"  {tinderbox: @6, pull time 2013-01-24  07:20(?)} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) with User Profile automatically created form renamed /3 User profile used by 3.6.5.2

Steps:
1. Open attached sample document (I think it should be possible with every 
   document, even may be with an empty one)
2. With mouse pointer select B6:C9
3. <control+c> for copy
4. Click common row/Column header
   > All cells selected
5. <control+v> for paste
   Bug: LibO will become unresponsive, often even will crash afer some time
   (a minute or so)

I will check where that started.

@Reporter:
Thank you for your attention, but it was  only lucky chance that I was able to reproduce the bug you observed with that very rare report. 

If you fine other bugs, Please use LibO Menu
'Help -> Feedback/Bugreports', what will guide you and help to gain more useful information.

Please add a comment with concrete and detailed information concerning your Operation system and LibO version

Sample Document

Already [Reproducible] with Server Installation of "LibreOffice 3.3.3  English UI/ German Locale [OOO330m19 (Build:301) tag libreoffice-3.3.3.1] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) 

Same with AOOo 3.4.0. So I think problem is inherited from OOo.

I did not fin a DUP

Only Major, I don't believe that this that this problem so often happens

@Spreadsheet Team
Please set Status to ASSIGNED and add yourself to "Assigned To" if you accept this Bug or forward the Bug if it's not your turf (and remove others in team from CC)
Comment 4 Eike Rathke 2013-01-29 18:06:40 UTC
We need to forbid paste and other multiple-cell data entry after Ctrl+A (or that grid button) selection or other selections encompassing too many cells. Effectively the data is repeatedly pasted to all selected cells, in the case of Ctrl+A that is 1024x1000000 ... grinding available memory to the ground and application gets shutdown.
Comment 5 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2013-01-30 06:46:27 UTC
As a spin off I submitted "Bug 60056 - CRASH when fill all cells of sheet",  please mark that one as DUP if a fix seems possible together with fix for that one.

There is a difference to Bug 60056 concerning copying empty cells, I don't know whether that's interesting:

Proceed as per original report, but with a new empty sheet:
Here LibO Becomes unresponsive with maximum CPU load AND rapidly increasing memory consumption (so that LibO will crash finally?)

Situation was a little different in LibO 3.3.3 (WIN), in step 6 (with empty document) also becomes unresponsive, but ONLY significant processor load, NO memory consumption, what ever that might mean.
Comment 6 Steffen 2013-05-13 22:17:34 UTC
Here is a video of Select All followed by Paste making LibreOffice Calc hang (eating up memory) on Fedora 18: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x15oL8BWiWk
Comment 7 Eric O. LEBIGOT (EOL) 2013-05-16 08:04:20 UTC
I observe something very similar, here (OS X 10.7, LibreOffice 4.0.3.3).

Basically, copying and pasting a full column (at least after removing, say, its first cell from the selection) is handled very inefficiently by LibreOffice: the CPU starts running, and the computer starts swapping like mad.

I can imagine that LibreOffice is copying a huge number of cells instead of optimizing the copy by noticing that the column is completely empty after some row and only copying a few cells.

Calc Version 4.0.3.3 (Build ID: 0eaa50a932c8f2199a615e1eb30f7ac74279539) on Win 7 x64 does the same thing here when pasting just 6000 rows from Excel into a multi-sheet LO Calc document after pressing CTRL-A to replace the previously entered contents.
