Description Ryan Lerch 2014-02-25 17:55:28 UTC
Description of problem:
Trying to convert a large body of text to a table in LibreOffice causes it to stop responding.

Initally asked here on Ask Fedora:
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/41976/libreoffice-stops-responding-when-converting-large-bodies-of-text-into-a-table/


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libreoffice-writer-4.1.4.2-5.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/1184/pg1184.txt, and copy paste the text into a new Libreoffice writer document.
2. Select all the text, and CHoose "Insert> Table..." from the menu

Actual results:
Libreoffice stops responding.


Note also that creating a 1X1 table, and then trying to paste the text in the single cell also causes LibreOffice to stop responding.

Eh, so pasting a 450000 words (1100 pages) novel into a table cell(!) is extremely slow... What a surprise .-) On my machine, pasting the first 2 chapters (~5500 words) into a cell already takes ~4 seconds, the first 3 chapters (~9500 words) over 12 seconds. And it takes over a minute to paste it as normal text...

Why do you want to do it anyway?

Comment 2 Ryan Lerch 2014-02-28 18:30:45 UTC
I was merely filing an issue raised on ask fedora.

However, pasting the novel normally into body text takes only a few seconds, but takes much, much, longer when in a table. That is why i interpreted it as an issue.
