I have applied CTRL+M (clear formatting) to a big document with about 147000 words. Now, when I try to change alignment to Justified in Default Style, the application becomes unresponsive. Tried it many times, it always behaves the same and I have to kill the application, and when I open it, the alignment is set to the former alignment that it had before my attempt. I came across several pages on LibreOffice documentation that suggested changing user profile if LO shows strange behavior. However, I do not think it is worth losing my templates and styles just to apply an alignment. Any suggestions?
system info:
LibreOffice 5.1.5.2 10(Build:2) on Fedora 24
