After having started up LibreOffice and opening one of its components (like Writer), LibreOffice will hang for a while before it becomes usable. This is what I do: - Start up LibreOffice. - Pick any component from the splash screen. ** LibreOffice will hang and take up 100% CPU for about 15 seconds before it becomes responsive again. - Now enter some text/values. ** LibreOffice will once again hang for about 10 seconds. Only after this does it become stable and can I use LibreOffice properly. I'm using the x86_64 .deb files that you offer on the website. I also use RC3, but the problem has been with me since around Beta3. Sorry if this bug is a duplicate, I couldn't find any similar ones that were filed.
I have the same issue on Archlinux x86_64 and LibreOffice 3.4.2 Someone have found that LibreOffice tries to connect to a samba server and if that wins server does exist or doesn't work (most of the time) then LibreOffice waits for a time out of the packets on the port… causing the waiting time at opening. Here is the original comment I have found: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22693 Maybe someone could put that part of the code in a threads so we can use LibreOffice right away even if the answer from the wins server isn't arrived yet. But I really wonder why LibreOffice looks for wins server at a component start-up…
After the update, this bug is the same but not the application tends to hang before displaying the document… but we still hang for ~15 seconds while nothing happens with the window openned… LibreOffice version 3.4.3, Archlinux, x84_64

I have not had this problem for a while now, so as far as I'm concerned it can be considered fixed. Maybe Jiehong could also test this out just to make sure.
For me, the problem is still there but it is a little bit different. Now, writer is launching fine but as soon as I write something 3 or 4 letters appear and then it's hanging out for 15 seconds. Afterwards, the other letters I typped are displayed and it's working great till I close LibreOffice and open it again later (even in a same session). I thought it was related to an extension so I have disable every extensions but the problem remained the same. As a last hope, I've disable Java… and is worked great! As I was using openjdk6, I thought I should just upgrade it to jre7-openjdk but it's hanging out forever then. I'll stick to openjdk7 for now then. However, I would like to know what needs java in libreoffice just to disable it…
typo: I'll stick to openjdk6 P.-S: the problem appears in impress and calc too (haven't tried the other ones)
Hi Vincent, Jiehong, Do you have the LanguageTool extension installed? (Check via: Tools > Extension Manager, look for LanguageTool entry.) In this case, it's a known bug without a solution currently (only workaround is uninstalling LanguageTool). Workaround for English, Hungarian and Russian: LibreOffice 3.5 offers builtin grammar checkers for those three languages.
I don't have it installed. I don't know if I used to have it, but if I did, it would explain why I'm no longer having this issue. It's all up to Jiehong (or a new person who can verify). :)
Ok, then with the 3.5.1 version it's working fine (with java 7 too). I don't use languagetool anymore. As Vincent said, it may be due to LanguageTool. Bug considered as fixed then.
@Jiehong: thank you for the information! Resolving as WORKSFORME instead, since we don't know _exactly_ what was the problem/solution.
