Bug ID: 144972 Summary: very slow LibreOffice writer start Product: LibreOffice Version: 7.2.1.2 release Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) OS: Linux (All) Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Writer Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: gd...@yahoo.com Description: I noticed that, despite upgrading to a NVMe SSD, LibreOffice Writter was too slow to start (almost 10 seconds). After several tries to rectify the problem, I discovered that the problem was caused from recent files list, which included files that no longer exist or couldn't be accessed. Clearing the recent files, allowed LibreOffice Writter to open in under 2 seconds! Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try open several libreoffice files, then delete them. Open files from external sources, then disconnect external sources. 2. Open LibreOffice Actual Results: A full "recent files" list with files that no longer exist or can't be accessed, causes LibreOffice to start very slow. Expected Results: LibreOffice starts very slow Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.2.1.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 20(Build:2) CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.11; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: el-GR (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Ubuntu package version: 1:7.2.1-0ubuntu0.20.04.1~lo1 Calc: threaded [Information automatically included from LibreOffice] Locale: en-US Module: TextDocument [Information guessed from browser] OS: Linux (All) OS is 64bit: yes -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
