    System crash when trying to drag cells in LibreOffice Calc

    Some time after upgrady to Saucy I noticed several freezes and crashes when simply trying to drag content of selected cells to another place in LibreOffice Calc (version 4.1.2.3 from repository).

    The system stops responding - although for example Clementine still plays music from playlist - I am not able to do anything with the mouse (cursor is able to move, but kees the LO dragging look and there is no reaction on clicking). Tried almost everything - the only thing I noticed was that after random pressing keyboard buttons the system freezed totally, text interface appeared and the PC rebooted. I have the system fully up to date but problem remains. I do not have any apparently broken or problematic packages.

    Did anybody of you also have this problem and if yes, do you have a solution? I tried to completely remove LibreOffice and install them again but did not worked for me. Currently avoiding use of drag and drop in Calc but it is stupid.

    Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

      This is a known problem and has been reported in to the KDE buglist. I have the same problem. Instead of drag and drop I use cut and paste or copy and paste. Not as convenient but avoids the lock up.

          Has anybody figured out how to do batch pasting? You used to be able to select multiple cells and paste into all of them. Now information only pastes into the first cell selected. This is really frustrating....

            Still works for me, as long as the cell(s) copied remains highlighted, (it shows with dotted box around it).

              Mines not working at all. When I select multiple cells, one of them is outlined by a bold line and the rest are a light blue color. Pasting pastes only into the outlined cell.
