My libre screen is frozen open with a sand clock icon.This happened when I tried to paste a download to a new document. How can I unfreeze it?

I’ve never seen this icon before and I can’t do anything with libre. Need help.

Kill the program - But you didn’t mention your operating system, so no method how to do that could be provided.

If a programm becomes unresponsive, i guess you have to terminate it.

On Windwos via the Taskmanager CTRL+ALT+DELETE
Or on Linux in any terminal via pkill -9 soffice

Hope that helps.
