(41) While googling for this problem, I saw some messages where calc wabts to resolve the hostname of its own system, which can easily be solved with an entry in /etc/host, but here calc also wants to resolve urls inside the spreadsheet. In strace.log, you see excactly how long it takes to open the file and you can also see what url resolving is going on (the file contains www.citibank.be and keytrade.be) and what additional ssl and certificates that are not mentioned in the file calc also wants to resolve. The problem is perfectly reproducable, please let me know if you need additional information. I did not attach the file itself as it contains my bank account data. How can this be turned off (I did not find an option in settings) Why is calc doing this ? I don't see the purpose of this, it only seems to be a wast of bandwidth and dns resources.
