Description Ljiljan 2016-07-16 06:00:54 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.106 Safari/537.36
Build Identifier: LibreOffice 5.1.4.2

Under Ubuntu 16.04 (Unity interface), as your presentation is becoming larger doing following actions is very slow: 
- Copy/ Pasting 
- Moving Slides in Slide Panel

Removing libreoffice-gnome, libreoffice-gtk and libreoffice-gtk3 solve the issue. However, LibreOffice does not look great anymore (more like Windows 95 style). 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create Complex Presentation under Ubuntu 16.04 (with Unity interface) 
2. Include drawings, images, tables (In my case I have 80 slides)
3. Open some slides. Copy-Paste. 
Actual Results:  
The first slide could copy very fast... but as you move through your presentation, the copy-paste or moving slides is taking up to 5 seconds making your processor busy. 

Expected Results:  
There is no delay in copying or moving slides.

Could you attach an example document so everyone does not have to create their own from scratch?

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the document.

I believe I fixed this with https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=core.git;a=commitdiff;h=fd99dc83659b8c9e4dff9c55ed43c936f9a5b7fd . At least the symptoms are the same.

How to reproduce the bug:

1. Open presentation
2. Go through each slide (Page Down, there is no need to do anything)
3. Select some slides on Side Panel and do Copy/ Paste
4. Repeat step 3 until you notice that copying/ moving is taking more time

Ljiljan: Can you confirm it is fixed for you in 5.2? http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

I cannot confirm because:
 - "error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-glib-1.so.2" (installation of pre-release version from official web page, "sudo dpkg...") - cannot start or solve this issue without damaging my system
- installing from pre-release PPA leads to unistallation of libreoffice-gnome, libreoffice-gtk and libreoffice-gtk3 (under these conditions problem do not exist)
- LibreOffice snap packages behave unstable even without this.
Comment 6 Ljiljan 2016-07-21 06:00:26 UTC
I did test with latest Snap LibreOffice (https://skyfromme.wordpress.com/2016/07/18/libreoffice-5-2-0-2-available-in-the-snap-store/). This snap package is capable of opening presentation and is not crashing. However, the problem stil exists (though it is less obvious than previous version of LibreOffice). I believe it has to do something with libreoffice-gtk3.
Comment 7 Ljiljan 2016-08-15 05:45:22 UTC
I didn't notice this error in LibreOffice 5.2.

In Ubuntu 16.04, with version 5.1.6.2 of LibreOffice, the problem persists: when the presentation has more than 150 slides with images (90 MB), deleting, copying, pasting or duplicating a slide puts the CPU at 100% for about 5 minutes.

Use 5.2 or 5.3, not 5.1.

OK, thanks! I usually let Ubuntu automatically update packages and version 5.1.6.2 (1: 5.1.6 ~ rc2-0ubuntu1 ~ xenial2) is the latest in Ubuntu 16.04.
