Scrolling is choppy with 3.5.0 for me as well. What is your proposal, make the previews shitty quality?

Not rendering it in high quality does certainly help.. I prefer 'speed' above being awful accurate.

And caching the previews would certainly help.. resize the pages panel.. and the rendering starts over again.. 'low resolution' place holder is shown, until refresh occurs.. Render a preview larges panel size; buffer it, and shrink that one fitting the panel seems more effective... 

But only a 'random' thought

Is there some change that you're work on thumbnails (
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/104156) will fix/improve things here.. or I'm I totally misinterpreting you're current work?

The patch was merged to master first https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/104114 so why not just wait for the next dailies?

Dear Telesto,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
