Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 112651
Calc hangs/freezes on big copy/cut
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:33:14 UTC
Upon opening a new spreadsheet I select the whole column (by clicking "A") and press cmd+C or cmd+X. Openoffice freezes for 1 minute (Core 2 Duo, 3GHz, 4 GB RAM) using 100% processor time. Sometimes crashes. This is may be associated with copying 65K cells, because selecting 30K cells freezes the program for shorter.

I identified the problem, it was clipboard history tracker (Launchbar in my case, with "Clipboard history" enabled). Disabling "Clipboard history" solved the problem. The problem, however, does not appear in Excel or Numbers.
Problem reproduced only after starting Launchbar
