Description E Moen 2017-11-04 12:43:48 UTC
Description:
In general Impress is a laggy part of the suite. Where it becomes almost unusable is when a populated table is edited. The typing lags so much I exceed the pace the program showing letters and words. I have tried every setting I can possibly think of (Hardware acceleration, Open GL, Memory settings, Experimental features, Java, a fresh user profile et cetera).

I hope this is not considdered normal. Ever since version 5, Impress is laggy and It seems to become worse with every release.

In Writer, working with tables is painless. So why is it so terrible in Impress?

Steps to Reproduce:
1.After opening the attached Impress file, start typing text in the table.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Laggy performance

Expected Results:
Smooth typing.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Is this Windows-only? I don't see a problem even in 6.0.3. If so, I am unable to test Noel's patch as I don't have a Win build env set up.

In Windows I am able to repro with 6.0.3, but 6.1 alpha1 does not have the terrible lag

Version: 6.1.0.0.alpha1 (x64)

Impress file with table

In the current stable version:

Versie: 6.0.6.2 (x64)
Build ID: 0c292870b25a325b5ed35f6b45599d2ea4458e77
CPU-threads: 4; Besturingssysteem: Windows 10.0; UI-render: standaard; 
Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); Calc: group

typing lag is a bit less in this version. However working with tables (selecting text, putting the cursor to type, selecting another cell than the current, etc.) is extremely laggy.

Try the attached file.

Nope, try with 6.1.3.
Comment 11 E Moen 2018-11-10 20:04:42 UTC
Running 6.1.3.2 and the improvement is impressive! Lag is as good as gone. Guess I'll be using the fresh branche now. Thanks a lot.
