Public bug reported: When doing a copy operation from a calc spreadsheet to another spreadsheet or to writer, calc hangs the system. Nothing works except the mouse cursor. All displays, panels etc. freeze. Sometimes there is screen flicker in which the screen suddenly seems to go blank and calc/writer may start work again after a few seconds. However, the general rule seems to be to hang the system.
In my view there is something about selecting a range of cells that causes this. Because I find abnormal behaviour during selection/copy- paste operations. If in a sheet I select a range of cells and copy them to another sheet, then come back to the earlier sheet, I find the selection still highlighted. Cross-referencing cells across sheets for formuale etc. become a problem under the circumstances.
