Description David Merillat 2014-04-14 18:31:42 UTC
Problem description: 
On starting Libreoffice Calc or sometimes Writer, the splash screen appears and disappears normally, then the main window draws mostly (Generally the menu bar does not draw) and is thereafter unresponsive.  After a few minutes, clicking the X in the frame to close the application results in Fedora waiting several seconds and then declaring that the application is unresponsive.  Other X applications on the same desktop seem unaffected.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Libreoffice Calc from the launcher
2. Try do use the application in any way
3. Attempt to resize the application frame

Current behavior:
    The application window is not fully drawn.  In particular the menu bar is not drawn.
    The application does not respond.
    The application does not redraw on resize events, and new areas of the window have the content of what was already drawn on the desktop behind the window.

Expected behavior:
    The application window should be fully drawn.
    The application should respond, e.g.:
    Clicking in cells should select them for focus, etc.
    The application properly resizes itself
              
System and software versions:
    Libre-office 4.2.3.2
    Fedora Core 20 (fully updated on 2014-04-14)
    Linux 3.13.9
    KDE 4
    X.Org 1.14.4
    Core i7
    16 GB RAM
    256GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD
    


Operating System: Fedora
Version: 4.2.3.3 rc

On further tries, sometimes the application window is not drawn at all.  Only a frame is drawn, and the contents of the frame are what was behind it.

Strace of libreoffice --calc hanging

At the moment when it hung, the last line of output from strace was:
futex(0x7fe9a95d89d0, FUTEX_WAIT, 2772, NULL) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)

The remaining three lines in the log are from KDE killing the process.
Comment 3 David Merillat 2014-04-14 18:50:43 UTC
Java version:
Fedora package: java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64
Comment 4 David Merillat 2014-04-14 19:05:06 UTC
I have a workaround:
Just running libreoffice and using the launcher to open a new spreadsheet seems to work reliably.
