That could be a bug, but it is impossible to fix it without knowing more details. > Since this file was getting quite big and unwieldy, > 5000 lines, I > decided ... I am using 100x (yes, 100 times) larger org file right now.

Although certain operations may become slower when the file size reaches tens of megabytes. Clipboard should normally not be a problem either. If you can interrupt with C-g, there might be some infinite loop somewhere in the code. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
