Description Telesto 2020-06-10 09:02:25 UTC
Description:
The spell checker in Calc only checks the on screen part of wrong spelled words. In principle no issue with that. However if you start scrolling, the spell checker 'restarts' checking everything on screen. So also the already checked part. Nothing is cached..

So spell checker is doing same stuff multiple times.. At the same time causes the restart the spell checker repaints of the red underlining.. which means shaping text over and over. And shaping text isn't cheap anymore (since Harfbuzz). 

Which - both together - creates an massive CPU load while scrolling moving text 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached file
2. Automatic spell check enabled. Scroll up down & monitor CPU usage

Actual Results:
15-25% depending on scroll speed etc

Expected Results:
Can be improved


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
