Hi, under Debian 6 and LibreOffice 4.1.5.3, it takes a long time (almost 5 mn) to display the photo and if during this time you try to do something else, Writer is unresponsive. Did you wait until the picture is displayed? Sophie
Comment 3 Alberto Salvia Novella 2014-02-17 17:24:26 UTC 
After 2 minutes the image is shown and LibreOffice Writer responds again.
Comment 4 tommy27 2014-05-03 13:05:36 UTC 
I set status to NEW since issue has been confirmed in comment 2

however I do not reproduce bug under Win7x64 using LibO 4.2.3.3

I can open the website in IE 11 or Opera 12.16, then copy the image and immediately paste it into a Writer document with no freeze or hanging.

do you still see this issue with 4.2.x releases as well?
