<br/>> The problem code kicks in when you have a document that has at least one
<br/>> cell containing mixed script types. Pretty much any action can trigger
<br/>> this. Typing a new value into a cell, copy-n-pasting a range of cells,
<br/>> changing cell format, inserting cells, sorting, you name it.
<br/>>
<br/>> But what does mixed script types mean? Internally Calc categorizes text
<br/>> language types into 3 script types: latin, asian, and complex. Latin
<br/>> covers the western languages such as English, French, German etc, Asian
<br/>> covers Chinese, Japanese, Korean (and Vietnamese?), and Complex covers
<br/>> Arabic, Hebrew etc. If you see a bug report that claims Calc freezes
<br/>> after doing ABC, and it only does in the new 4.2.0 release (or beta and
<br/>> RC before that), check the content of the file and see if it has mixed
<br/>> script types. If so, it may be caused by the same root cause as the
<br/>> above bug. Please re-check those bugs again with the build that
<br/>> contains the fix for that bug.

<br/>> I've browsed through bugzilla last night, and I saw quite a number of
<br/>> them that may fit the profile.
