I'm making some progress on this: I monitored the memory usage while closing a couple of the files at a time. I *think* that I've found the file that must be the problem. It'd be best to be able to attach it here, but I can't, since it's a text I'm using by permission from someone who will end up publishing it later. But, here are some specifics about the suspect file: **Written in .doc format, saved by me into libreoffice and annotated after that. (Maybe I should have said this in response to your first comment?) **Almost entirely polytonic Greek, with some English and other languages mixed in. **32 pages, 90000 characters, 500+ footnotes I searched for problems involving special characters and memory usage in libreoffice and found this: <a href="https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/157664/slow-typing-and-high-cpu-usage-after-a-certain-point/">https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/157664/slow-typing-and-high-cpu-usage-after-a-certain-point/</a>, which suggests that using shift-enter for a newline can cause an issue. Well, it looks like in my document everything is paragraphed correctly; at least, when I turn on view->formatting marks, I can see paragraph symbols after each paragraph. Let me know if you need the file itself to comment further. I could probably obfuscate the contents somehow.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
