Description Radek 2022-02-02 14:24:29 UTC 
Description:
When entering text, while entering each Polish character, there is a delay in the appearance of the character on the screen. This makes work difficult.
Turning off the Skia does not change anything
This problem also occurs in version 7.3.0, it was not present in version 7.1.8 and below.
After a little research on the internet, I found out that other users using non-English characters also have similar problems since version 7.2.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open LibreOffice
2.type polish or other non-English characters
3.

Actual Results:
Delay in the appearance of the character

Expected Results:
No typing delay


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Putting back to unconfirmed. Not totally convinced.. It could also be bug 145963

Could you give some example of a polish or other non-English character?

I think this is a different kind of problem though, the delay is shorter than that described in bug 145963 and only affects non-English characters.
The Polish characters are: ą ę ó ż ź ń ś
Comment 4 Radek 2022-02-03 15:22:04 UTC 
I would like to add that one of the users of the Polish OpenOffice and LO forum put forward the theory that holding down the right ALT puts a character into the keyboard buffer and moves it to the document only after releasing the character key. He supposes that holding down a character key generates subsequent codes so quickly that the buffer cannot be emptied and this action can be performed only after releasing the key (Polish characters are inserted by pressing the right ALT and the appropriate letter character simultaneously).
Comment 5 Radek 2022-05-15 14:53:32 UTC 
I tried to install version 7.2 again, in the latest release the problem is gone. I mark the bug as resolved.
