Description Felix Stadler 2017-09-22 10:14:56 UTC
Description:
I open a document with 32 pages and about 25 linked png or jpg images which were created in the previous version (5.3) of LibreOffice. Then I add another png image (about 1900x1000pixels) (checking the 'link' checkbox) and start typing below it (wrap is set to 'optimal page wrap'). Initially everything is fine. Then suddenly typing slows to a crawl. I can see the image being repainted. It starts to become impossible to type. 

I scroll up and start typing above the image. Now I can type at normal speed. I go several pages down (below the inserted image) and try typing there. Everything is fine. I scroll back up below the inserted image. Initially I can type at normal speed. Then it goes back to slow typing again. 

The problem only seems to happens with the newly added image. I have similar images in the same document that were added with the previous version of LibreOffice. I can add text at normal speed below them without problem. 

The problem does not seem to be related to the linking of the image. When I insert the image without linking it, the same slowdown occurs. 

Unfortunately I can not attach the document. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open many-page document in Writer.
2. Insert a larger png image somewhere in the middle (with optimal page wrap) 
3. Start typing below the image. 

Actual Results:  
Image repaints itself (blinks) when typing
Typing slows to a crawl. 

Expected Results:
Typing speed should be normal. 


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
Running on Windows 7 x64 

I have set severity to major because this problem makes writer unusable for larger documents.

Text document with 7 MB image for typing-delay testing

I have attached a 4 page odt document with an image on page 2 for testing the issues.

When I open this document, scrolling and typing additional text on the first page works fine. When after scrolling down until the image appears, scrolling becomes sluggish. With the image on page 2 is in sight, typing text (on page 2) appears very, very slow. when scrolling further down until the image is no longer visible, both scrolling and typing are fine again.

I can repro with the document. On a fast system, it is best tested by holding down a key and listening to the CPU fans rev up.

I don't see any repainting, nor experiencing actual slowness (anymore). However, the CPU usage is still pretty extreme for holding down key below the image..

After bisecting on Linux with 42max, we now have the original cause:

Well, that was a nice surprise. I confirm the CPU is nowhere near maxing out now.
