Description Kevin Hunter 2013-07-09 16:30:25 UTC
Background: Using Openbox + gnome-panel on Ubuntu 12.04.2 (x86_64), kernel 3.5, with 4 GB RAM.

Problem: Mousing over or keyboard+arrow -ing through any LibreOffice entries in the Office submenu of gnome-panel shows a noticeable delay.

This delay is noticeable, anywhere from .2s to 2s (anecdotal estimation) and does not exist for any non-Libreoffice entry in gnome-panel.  This is _not_ a first-time-only caching issue: when I hit up-and-down repeatedly enough times and then stop, I can watch two different menu entries get iteratively selected over an additional 5s as it "catches up" with my keystrokes.

NB: LibreOffice is _not_ open.  I'm assuming there's some interaction with .desktop files.

Per conversation with vmiklos on IRC, I installed the latest master build.  Copied from about box:

    Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+
    Build ID: b1c4046379b888bf3a82fbd31287ee3a68439968
    TinderBox: Linux-x86-64@8-SLED11, Branch:master, Time: 2013-07-09_00:35:08

I first recall seeing this in 3.6, so have listed that as the affected version, but it still exists per the alpha build listed above.

Nothing jumps out at me from a cursory inspection of gnumeric.desktop and writer.desktop, other than perhaps 2 Exec lines in writer.desktop, or the fact that it's symlinked.

It may be that GNOME Panel is slow when reading the complex SVGs LibreOffice has as icons...

Nobody confirmed this bug report. As it has not been touched by its reporter since 3 years, I close it as insufficientdata. Please feel free to reopen if you disagree.
