Data sort is slow after updating to V4.2.8.2
Could you give a try to last stable LO version 4.3.5? Indeed, there won't be a newer official LO version from 4.2 branch.
Please answer on bugtracker, so by using this link https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87644# instead of replying me directly with your emailer. About update, LO notifies for new versions of the same branch. For example, if you have 4.2.6, you'll be notified for 4.2.7, then 4.2.8 but never for 4.3.0, 4.3.1, etc. 4.2.8 is a priori the last official 4.2 branch LO version. So even if there's a bug with it, it won't be fixed on a 4.2.9 So if 4.2.8 is slow and prevents you from working normally, either I would suggest you to give a try to 4.3.5 or to go back to 4.2.6 (I'd prefer first option unless you notice important regressions)
I have installed LO 4.3.5 now and this has cleared the problem. What I would like to know is why, having had LO installed for several years and only updated when LO provides a link to do so, I end up with a version 4.2 when there is a version 4.3 available. It seems that LO directs me down a blind ally.

Because update concerns LO versions from the same branch, see my comment 3. Now why this choice, I don't know. Perhaps LO should notify about version of a newer branch. Anyway, I put this bugtracker to WFM.
