No problem accessing OOo text documents on a different SAMBA server (no calc documents there) so it really does seem to be a Calc-Samba issue. The original SAMBA server was quite badly bogged down in that other processes (eg Adobe-PDF accesses) were slow but all seems to be working OK now. Final test is to leave a calc window open & see what happenms ....

Cell A258 (with value ="1307" copied down into cell A259 3. Cell A259 edited to ="1310" 4. Cell A259 dragged down a further 5 cells to A264 wit the range of 6 cells highlighted. Left the computer to get information about further edits - the range could have been highlighted for a few minutes. Returned to try further edits to find it frozen. Several issues reporting this problem relate to the bug reporting and will be the subject of further reports unless something goes wrong in the meantime (I could be called away) in summary: Not knowing the package name - the HELP that told me to use ALT-F2 could usefully have told me the application package names current in the stack for me to choose from. My initial guess was not recognised after a long search! Not knowing the name, I tried ubuntu-bug with no argument. Nothing. After re-reading the help I used ps to find the PID (hardly a user facility!) & used the PID as the argument. May I suggest a drop down package selector based on the applications using the largest open files in user space could help the reporting process.
