Followup - More progress. I've extracted a single sheet from the document which reproduces this problem perfectly. I'm now working my way toward filing a bug report. Seems like the thing to do, yes?

    Tom -

    Thank you! Such useful info. Going into my LO notes for sure. All
    of it. It's very like to help me in a variety of ways.

    I appreciate much your taking the time to write such a lengthy and
    detailed response.

        Hi :)
        +1
        To clarify:  the higher that 3rd digit the more stable the
        release is (that
        is a bit of a simplification but it kinda works well).

        So if stability is the main issue then the 4.1.6 is better
        than the 4.2.1.
          The 1st and 2nd digits say more about features and advances in
        compatibility with MSO formats but "you can't make an omelet
        without
        breaking eggs" and the new features can sometimes cause
        unexpected problems
        on some real-world machines.  Testing can only go so far.  So
        i tend to try
        to get the highest 1st and 2nd digits for myself but give all
        my colleagues
        the highest 3rd digit i can reasonably manage (without
        breaking a sweat).


        Usual causes of crashing is an unstable version of Java.  All
        versions
        become unstable quite quickly, often even before release.  If
        you have to
        use Java try to keep updating it at least monthly.  Mostly we
        steer well
        away from using Java if at all possible.  It is now highly
        unlikely that
        you'll ever need Java active in LibreOffice so switch it off in LO
        Tools - Options - Advanced/Java
        and untick the box that asks if you want to use java.  If LO
        grumbles at
        some point then you can always switch it on for that task and
        hopefully
        switch off again afterwards.  The only exception is if you are
        using
        Accessibility tools such as screen-readers or if you are using
        Base with
        the internal back-end.

        Another cause is low settings in "Memory"
        Tools - Options - Memory
        and just ramp everything right up.  The defaults are set for
        machines with
        low Ram.

        Hopefully that helps a bit?  i thought we had already gone
        through these
        options so if it's still happening there is probably some
        other issue.  I'm
        just hoping that some of the above was unclear before.
        Regards form
        Tom :)

                Everyday, I organize my life around two large LO
                spreadsheets. I'm
                running ver. 4.2.1.1.

                Since the last major update (ver. 4.2.1?), my day
                begins with a serious
                of crashes - only after I save both sheets
                (separately, of course) 6-12
                times, each time after some small operation, do they
                get stable.
                Usually. Mostly. Except when they aren't.

                I'm doing wild, exotic things like moving rows around,
                and inserting
                rows, or filling in columns with data copied from
                other columns.

                I'm SO ready for the next version.

                Anyone have a clue when it's due to land?

            4.2.3 is the current release version.

            Why do you think that 4.2.1 is current?

            4.2.4 will be released very soon though.

            Or you could always roll back to 4.1.6 (prior stable branch).
