Description:
Libre Office Writer locks up itself and the entire GNOME desktop when you paste into it the contents of a web page that contains numerous large pictures and text.
Steps to Reproduce:
I have 64GB of RAM in my laptop. I expect everyone can reproduce this by strictly following these steps:
2) Click into the page (to give it focus) and then hit ctrl-a (to select all contents in the page), then hit ctrl-c (coping the entire page's contents into memory).
3) Open LibreOffice writer, and paste your clipboard into a blank page.
Actual Results:
From this point forward, LibreOffice Writer will be unusable, and the whole GNOME desktop will lock up (for almost a whole minute) each time you try to navigate the LibreOffice Writer page.
Expected Results:
I expect the application to either efficiently handle the task or decline to handle the task.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
So, this is a bug in LibreOffice Writer for sure; if it can't handle the work, it should decline it.
Additionally, this is bug in the GNOME desktop, because no single application's workload should ever be allowed to lock up a multi-task desktop environment.
