I have the same problem, with Calc only, in LibreOffice 7.3.7.2, installed from package libreoffice-calc 1:7.3.7-0ubuntu0.22.04.4 My graphics is an old ingegrated Intel HD (Ironlake), that runs everything else on the system perfectly fine.
Typing short sentences very fast, the display is always one sentence behind. Just holding down one key prints the characters noticably slowly, in blocks of approx. five at a time. At the same time, the XOrg process maxes out the CPU. Disabling HW accelearation had no effect. Running without GTK3 (using SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen), the problem disappears, but the UI looks bad. -- 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/1940836 Title: Libreoffice Calc rendering very slow on GTK3 Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm on a MATE 20.04 machine, with Nvidia proprietary drivers (for reference, can't use Nouveau, since my machine doesn't boot with it). Libreoffice Calc renders slow. The delay is very noticeable, even when just typing characters. If I remove the GTK3 styling (`libreoffice-gtk3` package), then the rendering speed is fine (but of course, the program is unstyled, with some workflow consequences). I've tried to run on GTK2 (`libreoffice-gtk2` package installed), but I see Calc as unstyled, so it seems it's not actually running on GTK2. I've also tried to disable HW acceleration, but there is no improvement. I don't experience this slowness on any other program on my installation. I've noticed that when there's a delay, the Xorg process CPU occupation skyrockets (depending on how fast I type, it may go even to 100% (single thread)). I've reproduced the same problem on all the LO versions, from the default (6.4.7) to the latest (7.2). The kernel version doesn't affect the problem as well (experienced on different 5.x versions). I've tried a packaged LO (from https://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com), and it has the same behavior. I'd be perfectly happy to run on GTK2 as workaround, if that allowed persistent copy/paste :) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: libreoffice-calc 1:6.4.7-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.18 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: MATE Date: Mon Aug 23 15:21:08 2021 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-07-01 (418 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-MATE 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200423) SourcePackage: libreoffice UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1940836/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
