Description Ayjaycee 2021-09-24 11:18:49 UTC
Description:
After working for some time on Writer or Calc files, the program becomes unresponsive.

Opening Task Manager shows LibreOffice is using CPU but intermittently shows "Not responding".

Have to kill the process, reopen the program and recover the open files to continue.

Did have the problem on LibreOffice V6. Tried upgrading to V7 to see if it would be resolved - is not!

Problem occurs randomly, but usually after switching away from an open Writer/Calc file for a few minutes or more.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Writer or Calc file
2.Do some work on it, including regular Saves
3.Switch away for some time
4.Try to switch back - if not responding, check in Task Manager for CPU usage and "not responding"
5.Repeated in LibreOffice Safe Mode - same problem.

Actual Results:
When it happens, Writer/Calc window becomes unresponsive.

Expected Results:
Should have been able to return to the Wrier/Calc window and resume working on the file.


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Please update your LibreOffice to latest version like 7.2.7 or 7.3.2 and try repeat your problem.
Comment 2 Timur 2022-05-23 09:36:32 UTC
As advised, 1st step is to update your LibreOffice. Take some time so see if that helps. 
Then,, please confirm you really did User Profile Reset or rename. If not, do it. 
After User profile reset, if problem continues after some time, you may try to turn off Skia in  Options-View. 
If something helps, please confirm.
