           Summary: Calc wrong paste can freeze LO for sereval minutes
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: luizl...@gmail.com
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: 4.1.0.4 release
         Component: Spreadsheet
           Product: LibreOffice

Hello,

It is too much easy to freeze calc. Just select some cells with a formula,
select a column and paste. LO will repeat the cells for every possible line
over and over again. This is too easy to occur. Just a simple click on column
header instead of A1 will trigger the problem.

I did it myself several times and I lost all my work since last autosave. This
is extremely annoying.

If calc will do some operation that will take several minutes, it would warn
the user. I guess no user will bother to waste 3 seconds to confirm something
that will run for several minutes. it will avoid many problems. 

Also, generally, it is never necessary to paste, repeating a pattern, for every
line of a column, every column of a line or even for every cell on a sheet. I
cannot imagine a usecase for this.
