Bug#729435: LibreOffice-calc: LibreOffice Calc hangs when trying to Format | Change Case on multiple cells
Package: LibreOffice-calc
Version: 1:4.1.3-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I created a spreadsheet from a table in another document and needed to change the
capitalization of names in two columns. They were in upper case and I wanted them
to just have the first letters capitlized.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I selected the both columns and used Format | Change case | Capitalize Every Word.
Calc immediately hung. After killing it, I tried again with just selecting the
cells. Again it hung. My third attempt I selected just one column and it worked.
However, when I selected the other column, Calc again hung. The difference in the
second column was that each cell had multiple lines with a name, newline, number.
I eventually tracked the problem down to one particular cell which had a newline
after the number. The change case routine may not be handling an empty or blank line.
*** End of the template - remove these lines ***
