> A bit choppy, but nothing super alarming

I checked it against Linux
- GTK3 -> No complains 
- GEN -> scrollbar clicking really responsive.. scrolling not slow
- QT5 -> Doesn't go well on my Lubuntu -> doesn't move at all (and complaining about RGB64 blend not being supported)

Windows
Scrolling (scroll wheel) -> Slow (more or to compare with GEN)
Scrollbar clicking -> Not responsive
 
So could you please recheck with Windows.. it's quite bad ;-). This should be noticeable with your powerful machine... However benchmarking it against Xisco machine is of course preferred.. 

And somehow the thumbnail size matters too (5 pages 45% being really slow) while 5 pages at 40% pretty OK. (Note: 23 inch screen; not high DPI). Not sure what the effect of a high DPI screen would be.

50% of the CPU time is spend in ExtTextOutW GDI32
5% in GdiplusNotificationUnhook	
5% in GdipCloneBitmapAreaI	gdiplus

Qt5 is not used anywhere to my knowledge - or does Lubuntu really use it?? It is experimental and should not be used. Rather test with kf5.

Not by default; however it's accepted. Kf5 switched to gtk3. So probably some compatibility issue.. and 18.04 not recent either. But a large part of the bibisect repro didn't run on 20.04. Some harfbuzz to old complain

Try installing the package plasma-framework and hopefully it will work.

Yeah, it's more laggy on Win

Already installed (by default). So KF5 no go for me; 
Anyhow this seems to depend on the environment. working fine with GTK3. Its slow on unusable slow on Windows (and Linux gen)

Most of it probably related to bug 134262 (the bibisect here might be outdated.. a lot of stuff changed.. reordered.. different code paths.. )

BTW not many area's with ExtTextOutW is used..

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


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
