Example of complex document with graphics

Mouse scrolling complex documents is painfully slow in Writer with the GTK3 interface (on Linux).

I've attached an example document to this bug report.

See also bug #104716 (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104716).

To reproduce:

1. Open the attached document in Writer with the GTK3 interface and set zoom level to 140%

2. Go to page 104 and scroll around several pages with the mouse. The scrolling is very slow, much slower than scrlling the pages with the keyboard.

3. Open the attached document in Writer with the GTK2 interface and set zoom level to 140%

4. Go to page 104 and scroll around several pages with the mouse. The scrolling is now fluid.

System: Ubuntu Linux 18.04 64 bits

Graphics driver: Nvidia 418 or Nouveau

Thank you for reporting the bug. To be certain the reported issue is not
related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your
Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and
re-test?

I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present
Comment 3 Roland Baudin 2019-04-13 07:07:17 UTC
I always do the tests with a fresh profile.

Sorry, I forgot to mention the most important thing: this is scrolling with the *mouse wheel* that is slow, not scrolling with the mouse using the scroll bar.

I tested, but mouse wheel scrolling was completely normal with no lag.

Please copy and paste here the contents of your Help - About. This allows us to know more about your system.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.

The problem is still there with LibreOffice 6.3.5.2 and 6.4.1.2. Scrolling the example document with the *mouse wheel* is painfully slow.

I see the issue in my three computers. My system is Xubuntu 18.04.4, 64 bits.
