Created attachment 120840 [details] File that hangs LibreOffice 4.4.6.3 (still) hangs before finishing opening the attached document (hang.ods), after showing 'calculating' in the status bar and before aring about macros. I can open the file with libreoffice 4.4.2.2 from an Ubuntu live disk. If I delete the 1st, 3rd or 7th sheet, the file opens. I can't find any feature these sheets have that the others don't. The problem is also present in version 5.0.3.2 (fresh). If I open libreoffice from the command line there is no output before or after the crash.

Thank you for reporting, but looks like fixed in master. I'll close as WFM. Feel free to reopen if proved otherwise. Please always check before with master version from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ or using Separate Install GUI tool from https://flosmind.wordpress.com/si-gui/.
Nice that it's fixed in Master. I note you provide the master version for Debian, which I don't use. How long will it take for the fix to find its way to 'still', which is meant to be reliably usable? Until recently I used versions of this file to manage a couple of hundred thousands worth of other people's money per year. One bonus of not doing that any more will be no longer having to keep finding work-arounds for libreoffice regressions. In this case I had to fire up a different operating system to produce my final report for the AGM. If you want libreoffice to be taken seriously as office rather than hobby software you have to give people a reasonable expectation that it will continue to work.

I also don't get any hangs anymore with these versions.
