            Bug ID: 123566
           Summary: Crash Calc and windows clipboard on copy (probably
                    font)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.0.3 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Hi

I received an XLSX spreadsheet from a client in the DRC (Congo). It opened ok,
however it would often crash when I pressed Ctrl-C (copy to clipboard) on a
field. Not always, but the sheet was a mishmash of data pasted from different
places, so I'm assuming some of the fields contained weird fonts I don't have
on my machine.

All open spreadsheets would crash, I also received an out of memory message
when I tried to bring up task manager. Windows ten then asked if I want to
close calc, after which my computer returned to normal. I seem to remember my
windows clipboard remained crashed however. Perhaps not. I was able to reopen
the spreadsheet and start again.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a spreadsheet which uses a font you do not have (conjecture).
2.Select a field formatted using that font.
2.Copy field to clipboard.

Actual Results:
All instances of Calc stop responding and need to be terminated. Runaway memory
usage.

Expected Results:
Nothing copied, perhaps warning message (OK).
Field copied to clipboard using default font (Best).


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I eventually exported to CSV (preserve formulae), imported, and saved to ODS.
This seems to have fixed the problem. Perhaps I could go straight to ODS
without the CSV step, but it seemed safer to clear out all formatting.
