try to clear/default formatting causes lock-ups

One of the many great things about OO, until now---and not sure if 4.1.0 is
worse (but pretty sure),

Is you could put any text, etc., and clear formats, and get rid of fonts,
paging, paragraphing, and links----all at once.

I've tried default formatting, too, but same result.

 

But lately (and I've been using it in multiple computer types), it locks up.
I mean IT IS CRASHED.  No use waiting for it to solve anything.

 

I've searched online for such a thing, but I see nothing related, yet. 

 

SURELY others are having this Microsoft-like-annoying issue.  It just turns
to crap.

 

YES, HOWEVER IT WILL ALWAYS RECOVER THE DOC.   (That's of course another
thing Yahoo and Word, etc. don't do worth a damn.)

If you can provide a 100% reproducible way to repeat the crash (e.g., 
open this specific web page with Firefox, copy from here to there, open 
a new document in Writer and paste) we can investigate the issue. 
Otherwise, we don't have enough elements to understand where your 
problems come from.

Regards,
   Andrea.
