I can reproduce this behaviour with the OP's test document. It is worth noting that the plot is *very* large, consisting of 10000 data rows as a line plot. When loading the spreadsheet document in LibreOffice Calc, resident memory increases by over 1.5 GiB just navigating the document. Pasting the graph into an empty Writer document (and then closing the Calc document) results in a resident memory size about the same, over 1.6 GiB. Writer, unlike Calc, becomes quite unresponsive, taking tens of seconds to respond to any event while the graph is in view. After moving to a new page in the same document, with the graph not visible, Writer again becomes quite normally responsive. Other plots of far fewer data points behave normally in both applications. A work-around is to reduce the granularity of the data set, and plot sampled or averaged points that will at least be individually visible on the page. This bug does not meet the definition of the “important” severity, so I'm downgrading this to “normal” severity. -- \ “Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?” “I think so, but | `\ where will we find an open tattoo parlor at this time of | _o__) night?” —_Pinky and The Brain_ | Ben Finney <ben@benfinney.id.au>
