Description: When I open at least to Writer documents in Writer and leave LO idle for a few minutes (10 minutes is definitely enough), the cpu usage goes up to 100% on one cpu thread. It doesn't matter if the documents are .odt, .docx, .doc or if they're unsaved empty new documents. There only need to be at least two of them and you mustn't touch them at all for some time. The spell is broken after making a small edit to one of the two documents and scrolling up or down a little. I discovered that I could make the bug go away by switching to the gtk2 or the gen (X11) back-end, so I assume its gtk3 specific. I switched to gtk2 by adding the line "SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN DEFAULT=gtk" without the quotes to .pam_environment. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open at least two writer documents of any kind 2. Let them sit idle for 10 minutes. Actual Results: The fan starts blowing at full speed and one virtual core maxes out at 100%. Expected Results: All CPU cores at idle levels, the fan is quiet. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 6.2.2.2 Build ID: 2b840030fec2aae0fd2658d8d4f9548af4e3518d CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
Pure speculation.. because of different backends.. but has some similarity with bug 123583. In that case it would - at a minimum - be reproducible with 6.0 but not with 5.4

Is there an easy way to install 5.4 alongside 6.2? I found v 5.4 in the archive but I'd prefer not having to uninstall v 6.2 because of it. Thank you!

Not the expert on this matter.. * There a flatpacks which appear to be working independent * Or create a separate install following these instructions: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/5.4.7.2/ @Buovjaga Any additions?
You can use appimages, they do not require an install. Just make them executable either from your file manager by right-clicking and going to properties or chmod +x from the command line. https://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com/index.php/old-versions/ https://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com/index.php/stable-2/

In LO Writer 6.3.0.4 or shortly before, this bug started manifesting even with the gtk2 backend. Version: 6.3.0.4 Build ID: 057fc023c990d676a43019934386b85b21a9ee99 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded

Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
The bug seems to be fixed since 6.0.0.0-alpha1. Marking resolved.
Changing status to RESOLVED WFM.
