Description Thomas Studer 2023-05-20 14:14:07 UTC
macos X 10.14, i7 processor
In Libre office 7.4.x every thing good,
since 7.5 (now 7.5.3.2) slow opening a file (10 sec and more)
and open print dialog (10 sec) and closing print dialog (10sec)

I can replicate this issue on an iMac (2019) with macOS 12.6.6.

I replaced the latest version (7.5.4.x) with the earlier (7.4.7) and the print dialog and also the print preview are much faster – or normal as opposed to extremely slow and laggish with the newer version.

In the print preview there was always a pause after clicking on the switch for document orientation (I print very often tables with landscape orientation), now with version 7.4.7 everything is normal again.

If I should provide some logs or anything helpful, please leave a comment. 
I use the iMac at work, so I don’t have always acces to the machine.

Still in version 7.6.2.
Print dialog extremely slow appearing.
Seams to check a lot of unnecessary things before.

In spreadsheet format cell also takes 10-12 sec. time
until the menu appears.

In version 7.4.7. these things were normally fast,
but the program crashed more often.

Restarting the program takes also about 12sec. on my actual Macbook M2
therefore  when I need to print many documents -> I use 7.4.7  :=(

I actually see this behaviour for all service windows opening time for : 
 - new file window : ~1 second
 - a save/open window : ~3 seconds
 - style editing (paragraph, ;list, character, ...) : ~10 seconds !

Version: 7.6.4.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: e19e193f88cd6c0525a17fb7a176ed8e6a3e2aa1
CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 13.6.1; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx

Same in safe mode.

Sampling during style dialog opening

Sampling taken during the first 2s of opening of a style dialog.
(3 second sampling, maybe ~1.5s taken to switch apps and launch the dialog)
