Description Telesto 2017-12-14 14:51:41 UTC 
Description:
MacOS: 15 sec maximum CPU utilization for a search in expert configuration menu with a limited input. It's similar to bug 114462, but takes way longer on MacOS

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch LibreOffice  6.1 alpha with Instrument using the time profile
2. Open LibreOffice
3. Tools -> Options -> Advanced
4. Click Open Export Configuration
5. A small search term: 'A'  -> Enter



Actual Results:  
Slow search, high CPU utilization

Expected Results:
Fast search, low CPU utilization


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

It certainly occupies one processor at 100% for a while.

Searching for a single character :

'E' : 12 seconds
'F' : 11 seconds

This is surely not Mac-specific? I see similar slowness on Linux, too, in master.

On the other hand, why would a user search for all entries matching a single character? That is a very unlikely thing to do. If you instead search for something meaningful (with less matches), it will take much less time. What is the actual plausible end-user scenario here?

I mostly go for an easy extreme illustration (which makes the point clear) and expect it to be in a real life user case to.. Anyway: a few more realistic search terms: "Office", "OpenOffice" "Text" "Windowstate", or "Font". 

Btw, the problem is isn't mac only

Most end-user don't use the expert configuration.. so the importance is probably low.. Especially when the code isn't reused somewhere

Probably the root cause is the same as in bug 114462
