Commit 32bf54e ("selection and merged cell announcements in LibreOffice Calc 7.3 and above (#12849)") improved announcement of selected cells for LibreOffice Calc (from version 7.3) on.

As a side-effect, NVDA currently causes a Calc freeze when all cells are selected.

Steps to reproduce:

1. start NVDA from current git master
2. start current development version of LibreOffice Calc (version 7.3 or later)
3. press Ctrl+A to select all cells

Actual behavior:

LibreOffice Calc appears to be frozen and doesn't react any more.

Expected behavior:

Calc should remain responsive and some NVDA should make some announcement indicating that all cells have been selected.
