Description: I have LibreOffice version 5.2 (see below for exact system specs) on a Macbook Air laptop (OS: OS X El Capitan 10.11.6). Generally I am happy with this software, but from time to time it would lock up, busy, unresponsive for a reason I don't understand. I couldn't pinpoint certain action that always triggers this behavior, but I narrowed it down to resizing a document window, or moving a document window. Then the CPU usage of soffice becomes 100% for about 1 minute. I mainly observed this in Writer, but Calc also suffered the same. The "top" command shows nearly 100% CPU utilization when this happens. Usually it will resolve, but it can take minutes before it leaves the unresponsive phase. Has anyone experienced this with the MacOS X version described below? The hardware has 8GB RAM and 5th generation (Broadwell) Intel i5 CPU, so it should be adequate for this job, even with web browser and a few other applications open. My typical usage pattern is: I open 5-10 documents at the same time, mostly writer docs saved in ODT format. These are smallish documents (<100 kB each). Info from "about LibreOffice" box: Version: 5.2.3.3 Build ID: d54a8868f08a7b39642414cf2c8ef2f228f780cf CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Mac OS X 10.11.6; UI Render: default; Locale: en-US (en.UTF-8); Calc: group I have also tested LibreOffice Dev 5.3 beta 2, and it suffered with the same problem. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try moving a document window around 2. Or try resizing/maximizing/unmaximizing the document window Actual Results: The application will hang (unresponsive) for 1 minute or more. CPU use of the application becomes 100%. Expected Results: Application should not hang like that! Reproducible: Sometimes User Profile Reset: No. But trying 5.3 beta 2 with new user profile did not help either.

I started this as a thread in Ask LibreOffice forum, see here: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/83375/libreoffice-sometimes-become-busy-and-unresponsive-in-macos-x/ Since I did not receive a useful response and this is more a bug than a user problem, I reposted here.
@Wirawan : it is the multiple opened documents that cause this, the reason for which is as yet unknown - a bug report has already been filed for this, so your report would be a duplicate of that earlier one.
