Re: [Solved] Calc crashes on copy/paste

Post by knutedata »

I only recently, in the past few days, started having the "Open Office Calc freezes every time I try to copy/paste" problem, on a finances tracking spreadsheet I"ve used for many years, updating several times a month. After reading every "solved" post I could find on this topic and not finding any resolution that I could make work, I just tried "saving" the file as a Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP (.xls) file instead of an ODF Spreadsheet file, and, furiously knocking on wood hoping this doesn't somehow cause some other type of worse catastrophe, it's working fine. I have copied and pasted a number of times, saved the file several times, and it seems to be totally usable once again like it was before. Anyway, FYI for what it might be worth.

If you are working on Windows 11, turning off the Clipboard management should solve the problem.
