Created attachment 134037 [details] Testcase If LibreOffice Writer receives input events in rapid succession, it seems to somehow store these input events in an input event buffer and to process them in a different order than originally typed. This problem is especially visible in resource-constrained computers, such as old computers or computers without much free RAM, where swapping effectively pauses input event processing by LibreOffice writer. This problem is also especially visible in case the document is big (e.g. with large images), where scrolling makes LibreOffice busy redrawing the document and typing while this redrawing happens fills the input event buffer. Testcase: Run this bash script: -----8<----- #!/bin/bash # soffice --writer & sleep 5 PID="$(xdotool search --name LibreOffice getwindowpid)" # maybe processed in the right order xdotool search --name LibreOffice windowactivate type abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz$'\n' kill -STOP "$PID" # actually processed in the wrong order xdotool search --name LibreOffice windowactivate type abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz$'\n' kill -CONT "$PID" ----->8----- Expected result: A LibreOffice Writer instance opens which contains these two lines: -----8<----- abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ----->8----- Actual result: A LibreOffice Writer instance opens which contains garbled lines in wrong order, such as: -----8<----- abluvwxkcdjeiyhfgz a dezfvgkhji ----->8----- The lines are also incomplete, but this is not the problem at hand (probably the buffer at the X window system is just full). The problem is that even for the subsequences of characters which have reached LibreOffice writer, the ordering is wrong.
I installed xdotool and tested. I got one line: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz Maybe test with a master build http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/?C=M;O=A Arch Linux 64-bit, KDE Plasma 5 Version: 6.0.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: ab27953d9ef2076e0acd43ed4ba6652732794777 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.11; UI render: default; VCL: kde4; Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); Calc: group Built on June 23rd 2017
