Issue ID: 125671
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: On copying a row or column, Savvy Clipboard dies, and
Calc dies too
Product: Calc
Version: 4.1.0
Hardware: Mac
OS: Mac OSX, 10.7
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: editing
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: thn...@gmail.com
I use Savvy Clipboard from BlitzClickSoft. Every time I copy a column or row in
Calc, Savvy Clipboard hangs for minutes. Then it not only dies, it kills OO as
well.
I reported this to BlitzClickSoft. They replied:

We’ve checked out what happens in this case. It appears that Open Office tries
to put an “unlimited” array of data to the clipboard, thus hanging an external
application that may try to use such clipboard content — we’ve seen this with
Savvy Clipboard, as well as with Preview, MS Word, MS Excel, etc.) So, it would
be worth telling the Open Office support team about such behavior, as they may
want to fix it.
Currently, as a workaround in using Open Office with other apps, there is a way
to limit the number of sells you copy (i.e. select the specific cells with the
data you want and thus copy part of the column/row rather than a whole
column/row).
For Savvy Clipboard, we’ve added a fix for the cases of “hanging” in such
interaction — it will keep working, but it will only accept plain text data
from Open Office (it won’t be in a table form until Open Office team fixes that
issue with their program). Yet, it will not prevent you from copying/pasting
data correctly while working inside Open Office if you do not need this pasted
to any external apps.
Our fix will be added to the next minor update, and if you’d prefer to get this
fix sooner, please let me know, we can share a pre-release version with you.
