The dashed line between pages is slowing down page scrolling. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a multi-page document, Or create a new document and put some page breaks; 2. Scroll down or up (with mouse or scroll bar). 3. Note that the scrolling is slowed down when the dashed line appears in the visible area. Reproduced on LibreOffice 4.0.0.3, running on Windows 7 x86-64. PS.: sorry for my bad english.
Hi, I cannot confirm this. I tested using LibreOffice 4.0 and 4.1.0.0+alpha on Windows 8. I created a new 8 page text document, and used Insert -> Manual Break to insert a page break between a few paragraphs. I scrolled up and down, using the mouse and scroll bar. Do the documents you have issues with contain any graphics, tables, or other elements? Are they much longer than 8 pages? If you have extra info, please comment here, and change status back to Unconfirmed.
Hi, thank you for the reply. Maybe my computer is too slow, it is an Ultrabook with a Sandy Brige Core i3 and 6Gb of RAM. Maybe it occurs only with Windows 7, maybe only with the 64-bits version of Windows (maybe because LibreOffice is compiled for 32-bits). But I tested both with a blank document (only with page breaks) and with text and images, and in both cases the dashed line makes the scrolling to be sluggish.
I have 64 bit Windows 8, but I have 8Gb ram. That could be the problem, but I can't say for sure. I also tested with Ubuntu 12.04 and experienced no issues. I am going to reset the status to UNCONFIRMED for now.
josiasmat - can you provide a document that you see this problem? This sounds very familiar and might be a duplicate of a bug I've already confirmed -- unfortunately I can't find that bug :-/
Marking as needinfo, please attach a document that you see the problem and mark as UNCONFIRMED. Thanks! P.S. It's not a slow machine problem - many of us have much slower machines, if you attach a document and I can confirm, it's indeed a bug (like I said, almost positive it's a duplicate of another one)
Created attachment 86738 [details] Sample document with some page breaks.
Attached a sample document with some page breaks. Notice that, when you reach the page breaks (indicated by a horizontal dashed line), the scrolling appears sluggish. Evidently, it is a somewhat subjective impression, and depends also on the speed of the computer, but the effect is there (at least for me). Confirmed on LibreOffice 4.1.0.4 on Windows 8 x64, running on a Core i7-3537U w/ 8GB RAM.
I just realized that if you uncheck the "Use Anti-Aliasing" option in Tools > Options > View, the problem apparently disappears, or at least it becomes imperceptible (maybe not in a slower computer).
Hi! Thanks for providing a test document. I cannot confirm this using LibreOffice Writer Version: 4.1.1.2 on Ubuntu Linux 13.04 x64, but it could be something to do with Windows. Putting this bug in UNCONFIRMED state for now.
I tested using two virtual machines, one with Linux Mint 14 and another with Windows XP. Neither of these had the issue I described initially. I even thought that LibreOffice running inside a VM could show the issue more proeminently. Apparently, it's a issue that occurs only on Windows 7 and 8 (maybe Vista).
I can't confirm that with LO 4.0.5.2 (Win7 32bit), both 'Anti-aliasing' & 'Hardware acceleration' enabled. (perhaps there is a little bit lag in the page break but I can't really feel that :))
(In reply to comment #10) > ... Apparently, it's a issue that occurs only on Windows 7 and 8 > (maybe Vista). not reproducible with 4.1.5.3 under Win7 64bit. do you still see it with current LibO releases?
Reproduced on: Win7x64, 4.3.0.3 Opened attached sample file and hold "pg dn" all the way down, and it didn't go straight down, it has pauses. I then held "pg up" all the way up, and again, it didn't go straight.

Ok, I see that very brief pause when page breaks are encountered in LibO 4.4.5 however it doesn't seems to me a very important issue so I'm lowering priority that pause is barely visible on my PC.

I've noticed this issue every once in a while (maybe on Windows computers). Our company template uses shapes in Headers and Footers. Can this bug be related to Bug 87485?
This is still a significant problem on version 5.3 under Linux.
The problem is most apparent to me when using the scroll wheel on the mouse, which is usually how I scroll.
I think this may be fixed with version 5.4.2. The scrolling seems smooth, and I'm not seeing artifacts left by the page splits either.

This appears to be connected to turning on "anti-aliasing" in Writer. I am experiencing this problem in Ubuntu (16.04) Linux under Version: 6.1.4.2. If I disable "anti-aliasing" this problem goes away. I also tested this in Windows 10 under version 6.0.7.3 and Version: 6.0.6.2 (x64) and DID NOT find this problem. CURRENT VERSION WHERE I OBSERVE PROBLEM: Version: 6.1.4.2 Build ID: 1:6.1.4-0ubuntu0.16.04.1~lo2 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded
