--- Comment #2 from Mike Palmer <mpalmer at usa.com> ---
I can duplicate this problem every time. 
1) Select and copy a block of many rows and columns of data in a spreadsheet.
2) In another spreadsheet, select column A and Paste.
LibreOffice hangs.

The reason it hangs is because of the replication feature of LibreOffice Calc.
When you select an area in the target spreadsheet that is larger than the block
of rows and columns being pasted, LibreOffice Calc replicates the source block
as many times as needed to fill the target block.

If you select column A row 1 the problem does not occur. But since you selected
column A and column A has 1,048,576 rows, the paste operation is repeated a
million times, which on some computers may take a couple of days to complete.
