Public bug reported:

Trying to scroll through the font list in the menu bar, I experience an
unacceptable degree of lagging. Just popping up the dropdown list takes
7-10 seconds and the system takes the same amount of time to respond to
perform individidual scrolling gestures to move through the list.

I have tried deb, snap and even the packages offered on the site of the
LibreOffice project. They all manifest the same behaviour. I have had to
downgrade to 7.2, which appears to be unaffected.

I have contacted the LibreOffice team and they tell me that this should
be solved by fontconfig 2.14. Unfortunately, Ubuntu 22.04 is shipping
2.13...
