Ubuntu LibreCalc freezes opening CSV file, max CPU

I've used LibreCalc to open CSV for a long time, but recently most of the time LibreCalc would not open CSV, LibreCalc would hang and CPU would max to 100% until I kill the program.

I tried to uninstall / reinstall but that didn't help. I tried to run from the terminal to see if there was any error message but there was not.

What fixed this problem of LibreCalc freezing was this :

- uninstall LibreOffice entirely
- go into File Manager
- go into hidden folder .config
- delete libreoffice folder
- then reinstall LibreCalc

After I did that LibreCalc opens CSV files again normally without always freezing.
