Description: Starting any component of LibreOffice takes a lot more time than usual, but starting soffice with this extra option takes a normal amount of time: soffice -env:SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen Which suggests it is an issue which affects GTK3 systems (as I have been told). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a LibreOffice component, for example Writer Actual Results: The component takes too long to be operational (about 30 seconds on my computer) and hangs long enough to have "does not respond" dialogues popping up. Expected Results: The component opens in a normal amount of time (max 2 seconds on my computer). Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I started noticing the issue with: Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha1+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 17694c906f94a195a2d5086e0e87afa1c852107b CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@86-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2021-06-09_20:52:06 Calc: threaded And it was not an issue with a build from just a few days before (not sure which one, sorry), so the change must have happened very recently.
Not seeing the GTK3 slowness in the latest commit of linux-64-7.2 bibisect repo, which is from Thu Jun 10 09:07:03 2021 +0200 Maybe you could also try with --safe-mode command line option and continuing in safe mode. If the user profile has stayed the same.
OK, a profile reset fixed it... Thanks Buovjaga. I should take that more seriously when testing! What kind of status should we use to close the bug?
