    Openoffice.org spreadsheet slowdown when copying multiple cells

    Does anyone else find that Openoffice 3.2's spreadsheet app becomes unresponsive when copying and pasting multi-cell selections? I've had this problem ever since I started using Ubuntu 10.04, which comes with OO.O 3.2.

    The problem becomes noticeable whenever I make a selection more than about 8-10 columns across. Once the flashing border appears around the selected cells, the spreadsheet app becomes very sluggish. The mouse still moves normally, but it takes several seconds after a click until the highlight moves to another cell, or to un-select the cells, or copy them.

    These slowdowns happen both in old spreadsheets and in freshly created ones. They didn't happen with Openoffice 3.1 or earlier.

    Haven't tried it under Windows, so I'm not sure whether this is an issue specific to Linux OpenOffice 3.2.

    Other apps don't seem to be affected.

    Anyone else seeing this?

    OpenOffice.org version 3.3.0 fixes this problem.
