Hi Don,
There are several posts on the user forum about similar problems. For
example https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?p=536089#p536089
The suggested solution is:
" Windows 11 has a new Clipboard Manager - go to Start > Settings, Click
Clipboard on the System tab and turn off *Suggested Actions*; if that
doesn't help, try turning off *Clipboard History"*
Please let us know if that works.


Yes, this seems to be a common problem on Windows, we have a lot of 
complaints in the Microsoft Store about Calc being unstable.


@All: Anyone who has an idea how to fix this problem?

Hi,  My name is Donald Sauer. I have been working with Open Office with
Windows products from XP.   I am not sure where the problem starts. With
a speadsheets, Windows 11 or 11 Pro, when try to copy a line, cell,
sheet, from a current spreadsheet the product freezes and I can do any
other function with that spreadsheet. I must kill Open Office and
restart it. This is with both older spreeadsheets created with an older
Windows products, it continues to work with out any problems? I am not
sure if you are aware of this problem? I would more than happy to work
with folks, if you would require any further info or details of this
problem. Of course any fixes or updates that may be availble. My level
of Open Office is the latest from your site, Apache Open Office 4,
4.1.15 Date 2023-11-20 17:44.
Thank you for any Help, or info on this concern.
Don

I think Firefox was also experiencing this and they fixed it:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-hangs-when-copying-suggested-actions-windows-11

Unfortunately their bug report is very long:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1774285

Possibly this was the fix, which calls OleFlushClipboard() after setting
the clipboard contents:

Thank you (again) for your valuable expertise!

Interesting that we are not alone with that problem... ;-)

I think it would be great to fix it, as the majority of our users are on 
Windows and the number of Windows 11 users is increasing.
