Description peter josvai 2021-09-28 07:33:34 UTC
Description:
my machine is not great by any means, but works perfectly for video editing, too..

so, a word processor should work like a breeze, right?
but sometimes, when a new document is being created, for some moments I don't see the menu bar...

and the recent files list doesn't even drop down... 8 of 10 occasions...

this is completely strange and unexpected...



Steps to Reproduce:
1. bring your mouse over "recent documents"
2.
3.

Actual Results:
nothing

Expected Results:
submenu should open (drop down)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Bug 131850 was fixed. The fix went into the versions 7.4.0, 7.3.0.0.beta2 and 7.2.5. Could you re-test with a new version? 7.2.5 will be released soon: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/7.2#7.2.5_release

I continue to have this problem, running 7.3.0.3 on Ubuntu 18.04 -- "recent Documents" hangs for 8-10 seconds or does not open at all.

jfs and Peter: do you have remote documents in the list of recent ones?

Setting to NEW per comment 2

All of my docs are on the OS drive or an attached usb drive; there are no docs on cloud services.

I have also had this issue. There is a workaround (which also dramatically speeds up LibreOffice start time and document opening times) which is to clear the Recent Documents list.
