Run LibreOffice calc (I had imported a CSV with 3 columns and about 300 rows) 2. Select any cell 3. Press Ctrl+C to copy 4. "marching ants" selection appears At this point, Xorg is now using 100% CPU on one of my processors. Clearing the selection (by typing in another cell) clears the "marching ants" selection, at which time CPU usage returns to normal. This survives a restart of the application, or a reboot. Same issue will occur. Running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit on a Lenovo ThinkPad T61, 4GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro 140M running the proprietary nvidia driver.
