Temporary fix until bug is solved: Removing the "Recent Documents" from the File Menu temporarily fixes this issue so you don't have to clear the menu all the time. This is obviously not a real fix, but it gets people back to work:
Tools > Customize Choose Menu > "File" Select "Recent Documents" and click "Modify" on the right pull down and choose "Delete" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1366519 Title: Incredibly slow editing of documents when connected to network Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When editing a document using LibreOffice, the system locks up after every update typed. Lock up can be up to 30 seconds before control is returned to the user. I have found that this takes place even on documents located on the same physical machine, not just network hosted documents. Problem does not occur if I disconnect form the SSHFS drive. I can understand potential delay when editing a remote document but the connection to an SSHFS file server is affecting editing of locally held documents too.
