Comment 2 Dieter 2025-11-01 14:20:21 UTC
I confirm it with

Version: 25.8.2.2 (X86_64)
Build ID: d401f2107ccab8f924a8e2df40f573aab7605b6f
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 26200); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL threaded

but not with

Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 620(Build:0)
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 26200); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL threaded

So perhaps bug has been resolved in actual master. So could you please retest and give feedback? Thank you.

Comment 3 Zayed 2025-11-01 15:03:34 UTC
Yes, you are correct. The master, as of today, don't face this issue. I test it on:
Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 465c3ad95059f0efa13c8027f7383c4d20a5b2ff
CPU threads: 24; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
Locale: ar-OM (ar_OM.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

and I don't face the bug.

Less than ten seconds with:

Comment 7 Zayed 2025-11-04 17:29:13 UTC
I try it with master:
Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 690b08779c0eae0fcc5dc50fcae84ab130a88405
CPU threads: 24; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
Locale: ar-OM (ar_OM.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Still it is slow in opening but much better than the current fresh version. However, it is displayed wrongly compare to the fresh version. Please see the attached screenshot.

Please open new bug and add me to CC. It's a regression.

CPU threads: 32; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 26100); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win

Based on all the comments, closing as worksforme. As mentioned in comment 10, any further issues should get separate reports.
