Title:
  Calc almost freezes on full table operations

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When Calc as of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS  is forced to do some calculation on
  complete columns or tables, it can take a very long time or freeze
  altogether, even if there is very little data in the table.

  For example, create a table with some number series about 1000 rows in
  some columns. Press Ctrl+A to select the whole table. Press 'Sort'.
  Calc does not respond to user interaction for a very long time now.

  If the used part of the table is selected by Shift+Ctrl+End instead,
  the sorting completes almost instantly.

  This problem may happen with many other operations too, and also
  triggers on full column selections (just click the column header) too.

  I think this is a mayor issue, as users can run into this in several
  ways (column- or full table selection, several operations) and may
  force them to force-quit Calc, loosing data.
