UI blocked while XLS opening
This is a UI issue, therefore changed the Component field accordingly. This is an enhancement request, therefore changed the Importance field accordingly. Set Status to NEW, because I can confirm that there is no 'Cancel' button for file opening ;-) Also, pressing ESC or Cmd+. (Cmd+. was the old standard cancel shortcut on MacOS) does not stop the fileopen process. So IMHO this is a reasonable enhancement request; this enhancement would be very useful with large files, esp. with some .doc and .docx file which take very long to open ... (see e.g. bug 39179). I agree that an "abort" loading of a file would be an useful enhancement. issue is inherited from OOo. |

Problem description: Some files take significant time to open. These could be large files or imports of external formats. Current behavior: Currently there is no UI to cancel such opening process. The only way is to kill libreoffice via operating system. Expected behavior: Have a "Cancel" button in file open progress screen which will terminate load.
