Description wksokoma5 2017-04-04 18:43:09 UTC
Description:
Continually, when I am using Writer, regardless of what I am writing, the document freezes and I can't move the cursor either with mouse or arrow keys and can't type. Usually I can free it by clicking on the Save icon. But even then, although the cursor is freed up, it is in the wrong place and knocks out some characters in a different line from the one I'm typing in. It happens with whatever I'm typing. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.typing, adding some text
2.
3.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

I don't have OSX 10.10 to test with, but there are similar performance problems on OSX 10.12
Comment 2 Alex Thurgood 2017-04-06 10:14:54 UTC
I can confirm this on my MBPRo2013 (core i7) with 16Gb RAM

Maybe the description is too vague, but the end result is: in OSX editing more than one document in Writer (or perhaps generally in LO) is futile - the app freezes for a certain time.
So this makes LO almost an useless office suite. Shouldn't this be a blocker for macOS releases?

Do (any of) you have Java enabled? Any extensions?

It is still reproducible on 6.1.0.3 on a Mac.

A sample file or some additional info would be nice. The description is really too vague. I'm not experiencing any slowness.

Do (any of) you have Java enabled? Any extensions? (See Comment 5)

This bug is too vague and contains no actionable problem.

I am not seeing freezes on macOS 10.15.4, LO 6.4.3.2.

If this problem persists for you, please file a new bug with example file and clear steps to reproduce. Typing some text does not result in freezes on current LO.
