Bug 129401

Description of problem:
If you want to create a new (custon) style in the Stylist or using
Format -> Styles -> Catalogue... -> New... the text content of the
Stylist begins to flicker at about 10 Hz. During this time the CPU
load on my computer (P4mobile, 2GHz) raises from 20% to 40% (Gnome
System Monitor). From this time the new created style cannot be
selected, therefore not deleted or edited using the stylist. If you
delete the style using the Format -> Styles -> Catalogue... -> Delete
menu the flickering stops and the system load remains at 20%.

Loading previous created graphics causes also the flickering and the
high CPU load. These drawings were created using OOo 1.0.3 to 1.1.1
(from several Linux Distributors or downloaded form the OOo project
directly).

The funny thing is (according to the OOo website) that Draw and
Impress are mainly based on the same code. In Impress these problems
do not occur.

Using the Stylist in Impress has two modes: graphic object styles and
presentation object styles. Therefore both icons above the textbox are
shown. Normally in OOo Draw (as I remember from previous versions of
OOo) the right icon containing the presentation object styles is
deactivated (and grayed). Therefore the style mode can't be changed.
Here the icon is active and can be selected - for a short period of 
time you can see the presentation object styles in Draw. Then the mode
switches back to graphic object styles.

The icon of the watering can in Draw's Stylist flickers the whole time.

Another problem: Editing text in Draw (not Impress) causes CPU load to
rise on 40%. Some icons of the format icon bar beginn to flicker
(approx. 10 Hz): Left Alignment to Numbering on/off (=10 icons).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start OpenOffice.org Draw OR create an new OpenOffice.org Draw
Document
2. Open Stylist. Right click on any style and select "New..."
3. Confirm the dialog (it's not necessary to change any settings).
-> The text begins to flicker.  

Actual Results:  Text in textbox flickers.
Custom styles cannot be selected (deleted, edited) using Stylist.
"Presentation object styles" can be selected, but do not work.
High CPU load.
Flickering of on symbol in the stylist the whole time.

Expected Results:  Stylist should behave like in OOo Impress.

Additional info:

* I've tested it on two personal computers running Fedora Core 2
(OpenOffice.org 1.1.1). This error occured on both PCs. All updates
have been applied.
* I'm using german language on my computer, so I hope I've used the
correct terms to describe the problem.
