Created attachment 149292 [details]
for work with them

i want change --- and put 0. with libreoffice 6.1.4 it work.
Comment 3 Timur 2019-02-14 14:00:26 UTC
I assume steps from Description are not adequate and that steps are:
1.open ODS attachment 149292 [details]
2.Find and replace OR press control + H
3.find: "---" and press "Replace All"

I do not reproduce simple "the program stop and dont work". Replace is done. 
But I see "not responding" with "Search Results" window. Hard to press Close. 
Not memory issue. So I set to New, unless explained differently. 
Test LO 6.2 and 6.3+ in Windows. I also reproduce before.
This may well be a duplicate of bug 104849 or bug 87965. As explained there, it's not replace that's slow but Search Window.

i can confirm the problem with:

Version: 6.1.5.2 (x64)
Build ID: 90f8dcf33c87b3705e78202e3df5142b201bd805
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default;

Find & Replace dialog and "Search Result" dialog become unresponsive.

Behavior is for me different to bug 96290. There, Search Results (with 3100 hits) is quick. Here, Search Results is *very* slow to show (and my CPU is above 50%). 
If I disable it in expert configuration, better, although there's again some sluggishness (that's like in bug 96290).
Comment 6 Andreas Heinisch 2021-08-28 15:23:08 UTC
Imho, in both cases (Bug 96290 and Bug 123461) the culprit is ScRangeList::Join which tries to join the marked ranges. It holds a list of ranges and checks if it can join with the found one, otherwise it adds the new created ranges and continues to join the remaining ranges from the search result.

The internal data structure is a vector and the data is as follows:
[0] = {aStart={nRow=1 nCol=1 nTab=0 } aEnd={nRow=2 nCol=1 nTab=0 } }
[1] = {aStart={nRow=4 nCol=1 nTab=0 } aEnd={nRow=6 nCol=1 nTab=0 } }
[2] = {aStart={nRow=9 nCol=1 nTab=0 } aEnd={nRow=15 nCol=1 nTab=0 } }
[3] = {aStart={nRow=18 nCol=1 nTab=0 } aEnd={nRow=20 nCol=1 nTab=0 } }
[4] = {aStart={nRow=22 nCol=1 nTab=0 } aEnd={nRow=24 nCol=1 nTab=0 } }
[5] = {aStart={nRow=26 nCol=1 nTab=0 } aEnd={nRow=26 nCol=1 nTab=0 } }
[6] = {aStart={nRow=28 nCol=1 nTab=0 } aEnd={nRow=29 nCol=1 nTab=0 } }
[7] = {aStart={nRow=32 nCol=1 nTab=0 } aEnd={nRow=35 nCol=1 nTab=0 } }
[8] = {aStart={nRow=37 nCol=1 nTab=0 } aEnd={nRow=37 nCol=1 nTab=0 } }
[9] = {aStart={nRow=40 nCol=1 nTab=0 } aEnd={nRow=42 nCol=1 nTab=0 } }
[10] = {aStart={nRow=44 nCol=1 nTab=0 } aEnd={nRow=55 nCol=1 nTab=0 } }

The algorithm always loops over all ranges to check whether a range can be joined or not. A new range may look like the following:
rNewRange = {aStart={nRow=66 nCol=14 nTab=0 } aEnd={nRow=67 nCol=14 nTab=0 } }

In the end it gets even worse, because if a range can be joined, the function tries to join the newly created range as well. In this case, the range contains about 6974 ranges which leads to this performance issue.

Imho, a vector of ranges maybe the wrong data structure when there a fast access is needed.

So either we show only around a 1000 marked ranges, or we have to think about a better algorithm which can join ranges faster :(

I can confirm (following the steps in comment #3) that the bug is present in:

Version: 6.4.7.2 (x64)
Build ID: 639b8ac485750d5696d7590a72ef1b496725cfb5
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: GL; VCL: win; 
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: CL


This bug is no longer reproducible in:

Version: 7.6.7.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: dd47e4b30cb7dab30588d6c79c651f218165e3c5
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

I investigated the duplicate bug 96290 and there is also a performance improvement but for that bug (and its accompanying steps & file) there is already no issue at versions 6.4.7.2 I'm not sure why a possible bug fix for this other bug did not help with this bug or how it's related. Either way by version 7.6.7.2 I get almost instant find & replace results for both bugs.
