Funny... I never experienced that. But I don't use Calc that often, too !!!

I have been having this problem occurring a lot . I am doing a lot of
modification of a spreadsheet - selecting cells , editing cells etc. . The
spreadsheet has 16 worksheets - ie. covers a year's worth of expenditure and
income - so is fairly complex .

It seems like a frequent back up process operating but is obviously not - there
is no indication of this occurring . This leaves a task issue as a possible
cause - ie. a task going to sleep - being locked up temporarily by another
process - such as temporary priority inversion . If a synchronous architecture
is used then task problems are not unusual - by the nature of the structure they
are designed into the structure and they have to be worked around . The program
may be being woken up by some sort of watchdog process .

I should have added with these reports - I am working on a .xls file imported
from Excel .

There are 2 factors that may be related to this :-
1) that the file was a large - 983KB+ - file .
2) that it was imported from Excel .xls format .

kim_lyon,
please attach the file. Also specify if this problem happens with other files.

I believe I know that problem.

@kim_lyon: 
do those hangs still happen when 'Tools > Cell Contents > AutoCalculate' is
unchecked?

If no response is given I have to close this Issue as invalid.
