Bug Description

The situation found when I try to covert a txt file into Calc file by libreoffice. The preview looks all fine, all the tabs and texts were well arranged in the preview. However, when the button "ok" was pressed, libreoffice use all the memory and CPU, even the txt file only has 4.7 kB with only 74 rows and 7 columns. It use all memory (10 GB) in the conversion.
