OK, I can confirm.

Code: Select all

OS: Windows 7 Version 6.1 (Build 7601: SP 1)
OS: Windows 10 Version 2009 (actually Windows 11 version 22H2, 22621.1105)
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.21.0.31513 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: b2ab8edba4bfd71681e639f8c3f1105066bed4c7
Python 3.10.8, Qt 5.15.4, Coin 4.0.0, Vtk 9.1.0, OCC 7.6.3
Locale: English/United States (en_US)
Installed mods: 
  * FeedsAndSpeeds 0.5.0
  * FeedsAndSpeeds-master.zip
  * freecad.gears 1.0.0
  * Help 1.0.3
On Windows 11 the simple copy (CTRL-C) caused huge memory usage (10 GB) and a hang for 20 to 30 seconds. Instant response on Windows 7.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! This problem has been driving me insane. I'm glad someone can reproduce it. Now hopefully, the fix is not too hard to find.

I think I found a temporary solution for the Copy Hang problem in Spreadsheet WB. Go to the link below. I posted what I found there.


Hang on spreadsheet cell copy?


It seems to work for me.

Yes, that worked for me.

I usually attempt to remove all the MS "conveniences", but I missed that one.
