Issue ID: 125631 Issue Type: DEFECT Summary: Randomly locks up Product: Calc Version: 4.1.1 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: ui Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org Reporter: jimbosal...@gmail.com Been struggling with this since before I installed the 4.1.1 update. I guess I was overly optimistic that the upgrade would solve the problem. When an update didn't do it, I installed 4.1.1 fresh, after an uninstall. No difference. I can not seem to find a pattern that is consistant. The duration between lock-ups is completely random, as far as I can tell. Sometimes it locks up while I am entering (text or numeral) data into cells. It has locked up when I have many cells highlighted, while I am getting ready to make a format change, like changing the background, or adding borders. But it does it, BEFORE I get the chance to click the format selection. OIt doesn't seem to matter if I used the mouse, or keyboard to make the highlight. It has never locked up on me when I have the format cells window open. Dumb luck? Sometimes it locks up during a save. It has locked up during autosaves, A LOT. It's rare to see it lock up the same way two times in a row, but autosave has done it quite a few times. Sometimes it locks up a few seconds, or minutes after an auto or manual save. Sometimes it locks up after very little user interfacing, sometimes it locks up after 5 minutes of intense manual data updating. Sometimes it locks up when I change tabs, sometimes while I am on the same tab. Sometimes it locks up within minutes of restarting Calc, sometimes it is DAYS. ( I rarely restart my computer, but even then, some of the locks have happened within minutes of a hard boot. ) I have no need to export to another spreadsheet software, so I only save using the default settings, in a folder designated for my business documents on my C:/ drive. It happens with the spreadsheet I have with 20 tabs, and it has happened with spreadsheets with only one tab. None of the 20 pages have an extreme amount of data or formattng. I simply use different tabs to sort product types. A typical page does not even require side-scrolling to see everything, and scrolling down more than a page is unusual. I typically use an 8-font, and 90% view size. I have tried closing all other open programs, after a fresh hard boot, and then opening Calc - made no difference. I don't do anything fancy. I'm just using the spreadsheet to keep track of inventory, which data I manually update, and to help me calculate prices on items I an looking at purchasing. (You know, if I want to sell it for this price, and I have these fixed overheads, how much am I willing to pay for it, and still turn a profit?) I do have a few formulas that get data from other tabs withing the same spreadsheet, but I can not see a connection betweening editing the source data, and these lock ups. I'm using Windows8 version 6.3 build 9600 on an HP with a core i3 processor. I'm not very good with searches. I seem to lack the knack for selecting the right terms to search for. If I have screwed up, and posted it in the wrong place, or if there is already a post on this issue, please be kind, and point me to the right area. Please also accept my apologies for my error. I'm hoping someone has a solution, and that it's something I have set incorrectly on my system. I could use help with this. Your patience is most appreciated. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue. You are watching all issue changes.
