This is an inherited problem from Open Office. It's a design problem in that
shortly after a file is opened the software does something (scans the entire
document?). It is not apparent on small files because it happens so quickly. A
large file makes it extremely apparent.
There are many other problems this creates. Even when it doesn't crash, the
number of pages in the file is oftentimes incorrect until the 'scanning' stops.
When halfway down in the document or lower, the pages keep jumping around,
preventing moving to the desired location. It also crashes in other scenarios,
but here's the easiest procedure I've found to reproduce the crash. I could go
on, but you get the point. Until well after the 'scanning' is complete, the
file isn't usable.
