Bug Description
LibreOffice Writer lags by several seconds per keypress when typing in a document of more than a page or so. This does not always start immediately, but normally begins within a couple of lines of text, and also affects text deletion.
The bug does not seem to affect Calc.
Also, when I installed Writer alone through Synaptic, without any gnome integration at all, the problem didn't seem to arise, although it looks hideous, so that is not an ideal solution. Removing user preferences did not fix the problem, however.
Obviously, this bug does not affect everyone, because it would have been reported already. I hope the apport data provides enough information to pin the problem down.

Can you tell me a little more.. spreadsheet or does can you point to an example problematic document?
* Does Libreoffice display this lag immediately or does it take some time of the app running before it becomes unusably slow?
* When did this problem start?
* Does this happen on an empty document/
