When you say "deleting them" do you mean deleting the content or the columns? Also "sometimes" - can you be more specific? Also, what is your operating system and is this a new problem which you don't see in 4.2.4.2 release?

marking as NEEDINFO - please give us a bit more detail and then mark the bug as UNCONFIRMED. Thanks!

What i tried to do was:
"Find out if a long (in time) operation would influence the Autorecovery"

What i did was:
1) I created an calc-sheet  (see attachment test4242.ods)
2) I copied cells A3:C3
3) I pasted them to: A4:A1048575
4) Then i pressed Ctrl+Home to get back to the top of my sheet
5) I selected: A4:C1048575, and pressed the 'Delete'-key

On 1 of my attempts to do this, i received the 'bad allocation' error.
On other attempts, i was not able to save the document after step 5
(Resulting in I/O errors, which i have not copied...)

I know that (especially step 3) seems a pretty useless action, But these steps should not be the cause of a problem when working with a calc-sheet.

Finally, after Joel's comment, i tested this with 4.2.4.2, and same thing go wrong in this version. (It's not a new bug for 4.3 )

I got similar results with 4.0.6.2 (Win7 x86) :

(In reply to comment #2)
> 3) I pasted them to: A4:A1048575
Freeze after that step, about 10 secs

> 5) I selected: A4:C1048575, and pressed the 'Delete'-key
Freeze then crash

Looks those operations consume high resources.

Comment 9 Luuk 2016-02-21 15:33:25 UTC
First of all, since reporting this bug, some things changed

1) I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 10
2) I decided to run the 64-bits version of LibreOffice
3) Currently running 5.1.0.3 (x64)

The problem still exists (see screenshot)

I also changed the number of columns I am copying/pasting to 9,
so i change the range in step 3 from A3:C3 to A3:I3  (after putting some values in those columns) and changed the range in step 5 from A4:C1048575 to A4:I1048575

Another thing that might be necessary to get this behavior is changing this:
Tools/options/Load/Save/General 'Save Autorecovery every: 1 minutes'

Because i bought meself a new computer since the days i reported this bug,
and because this computer is more powerrfull then the previous one,
and because this 'bug' is about operations which takes long time (longer than 1 minute, to overlap time set in 'Save autorecovery information every .. minutes')

and because this was reported for version 4.0, and currently we have 6.2,



I do net see any advantage in trying to reproduce this in version 3.3.


Because all of the above, I am suggesting to close this bug (WONTFIX?), which leaves you all to solve bugs which will need more attention, unless 'lots-off-people' are facing issues because of this bug... 😊
