Package: libreoffice
Version: 1:6.1.4-4

When opening an .xls file which contains a frozen column(s) in it, thesoffice.bin process uses 100% CPU and steadily devours RAM (i.e. up to85-100%) and thus the system becomes "unusable".If to open such file with the "--view" option, it opens just fine andswitching to "edit document" afterwards works Ok.

I am using 4.19.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.12-1 (2018-12-22) x86_64GNU/Linux


Best regards and thank you.
