I just tried it on a 47 page Writer document and had no problem. I'm 
using LO 4.1.3.2 on Linux Mint 15. I don't recall ever seeing this 
behavior in the past. But of course, if I were to change the font in a 
document, I would never do it by selecting all the text. Rather, I would 
change the font in the Default Style, which would have the same effect. 
btw, I just tried it by scrolling through the fonts in the Default Style 
dialog box and had no problem there either.
