Description Homayoon Vafamehr 2019-03-28 07:14:57 UTC
Description:
Most languages are Left To Right like English
Some languages are Right To Left like Persian, Arabic
Numbers are Left To Right in English as well as Persian and Arabic.
Trying to write/editing a sentence witch is mixed of 2 different direction like Persian and English, Persian and Persian Numbers or ...  makes UI laggy and unresponsive.

There is no problem if a sentence is in one direction (for example LTR) and the next one witch is separated by Enter is in other direction (in this example RTL).

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open any LibreOffice component
2.Make a new text Line
3.Write mixed of English and Persian witch is in different direction.

Actual Results:
Laggy and unresponsive UI

Expected Results:
Normal responsive UI


Reproducible: Always

An ODT document for testing bug.

there are 4 sentence in this document.
First sentence pure Persian with no problem and lag when I wrote it.
Second one is in Persian with Persian numbers so was laggy as I was writing.
Third one is mixed of English and Persian (فارسی) and was laggy.
Last one pure English so no problem as expected.

Does it work if you disable OpenGl ? -> https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/OpenGL

I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present

Unfortunately no. even with OpenGL disabled problem is still there.
Comment 4 Buovjaga 2019-08-17 14:49:45 UTC
Homayoon did not actually have OpenGL enabled as seen from the Help - About text. I think we should remove the question as people many times do not understand what it means.

Homayoon: how does the lagginess manifest? I did not experience anything weird with your file and doing some inputting of text.

You quoted your own comment instead of answering my question. Please try harder.

Is the lagginess manifesting in a way that makes your typing appear on the screen slower? No? Then how?
