2016-05-01 05:04:47 Jurgen Schellaert attachment added for testing purposes I am including the text file in question; it is a rather extensive vocabulary list composed in Dutch; please note it contains a small handful of links that reference other files - I guess it wouldbe better to turn off check links when loading the file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577093/+attachment/4652522/+files/wlst.odt
2016-05-01 05:07:21 Jurgen Schellaert description Using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installed originally from a weekly beta2 ISO; the image was verified at the time to match its checksum and the install has since consistently been upgraded. From the start, Libreoffice writer (1:5.1.2-0ubuntu1 - amd64) has struggled with a "large" file I have been working on since Ubuntu 15.04, although it works perfectly for newly created files or existing smaller files, though. I was hoping to continue using my exiting file, however: one that counts about 14,000 paragraphs, 3.5 million characters and some 300 tables as well a large number of bookmarks/internal links). I should have hoped that LO would simply load it and let me get on with my work as it did before. Unfortunately, here is what really happens whenever I try to load it: - when the progress bar completes , Writer greys out and locks up for several minutes on end (anything from a few minutes to a quarter of an hour) - during that time, the interface is clearly distorted (two overlapping status bars - duplicated vertical scrollbars at the right side - the title bar covering up the menu bar as well as part of the upper toolbar - the horizontal ruler shifted to the right, causing the "comments" column to appear on the left rather than the right) - when the file eventually gets loaded and the interface is restored, the menus turns out to be unusable: the drop-downs are narrow blacks slabs without any entries and without any responsiveness - the page count is wildly off: the file is about 1100 pages, yet Writer reports over 1800; at any moment, however, it will update its count to reflect the actual number. - random actions can produce a new prolonged lock-up; in particular copying text, opening up the navigator or doing a search. The only way to open the file in a usable way is to restart Writer several times in a row (which takes LOTS of patience considering the time it takes the file to load...) Apparently, the only way to avoid these problems is to delete the libreoffice-gnome/gtk packages. Unfortunately, that leaves me with an interface that looks like are relic from a previous century.... I did not much like that, so I have experimented with the debs available directly from the LibreOffice project. Saldy, I am seeing the same behaviour.
