Confirmed that this is still happening with libreoffice 5.3.3-0ubuntu1 on artful. Pasting the text from comment #18 in a single cell takes 30 seconds on my machine.
@madbiologist: the commonality of that use case is not really the point (although it might influence the importance of the bug report). People use spreadsheets in lots of creative ways and it should never take that long to paste some text, regardless of its size (the sample text in comment #18 is only 11604 words, it's not even that big). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1034999 Title: libreoffice-calc very slow to open/save documents with large cell contents Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Libreoffice-calc 3.6 takes a long time (30sec to minutes) to open/save spreadsheets containing cells with a lot of content. This is a regression from libreoffice 3.5 in 12.04 (tested with 1:3.5.4-0ubuntu1) To reproduce: 1) Open the attached spreadsheet, which contains 1 cell with ~4k characters in it Expected results: Spreadsheet opens quickly (<2sec on my 2.4Ghz Core2Duo w/ SSD) Actual results: Libreoffice splash screen shows, libreoffice window is displayed as a gray rectangle with no content, and libreoffice window then becomes unresponsive. CPU usage is at 100% on one core. The system stays in this state for ~30sec. The document eventually opens and libreoffice functions normally. Saving documents with lots of data in a cell takes just as long as opening/reading those documents, with similar symptoms - libreoffice becomes unresponsive, one CPU core is at full utilization, etc. The amount of text in the cell is directly correlated to the length of time required to open/save the doc.
