Another situation that causes lockup: 3) Clicking on the Bold/UnBold button often causes the application to lock up. Sometimes a task that is as simple as changing the text attribute of a cell from Bold to Non-Bold, or from Non-Bold to Bold is sufficient to lock up the application. Just clicking on the "B" button in the application menu will cause the application to lock up, with all screen activity related to it's window, to lock up. During these occurrences the window cannot be overwritten by another window. As mentioned previously, this only happens in LO Calc, not in any other application. Indeed, with the gtk3 VCL plugin, the tooltip showing the latest value in the sequence is missing. But I haven't experienced any lockup. I have on F24 box with a nouveau driver, the "locking up" problem isn't seen there though. FYI this is happening with .xls format spreadsheets, if that helps at all. (In reply to Caolan McNamara from comment #3) > I have on F24 box with a nouveau driver, the "locking up" problem isn't seen > there though. It's probably because you're using a different video card than the card referenced in this bug report. This would suggest that the video driver supports your card better than it does the Quadro 400. But insofar as the driver problem only seems to exist in LO and not in other applications, I think this is an LO-related bug. To clarify my earlier point -- I experience this problem when using .XLS spreadsheets, only because that's the only file format that I use. I don't know if it's a problem with ODS or not. UI operations like selecting with mouse, filling cells, clicking Bold/non-Bold are independent of the file format used. This rather sounds like a graphics card driver problem. Try with disabling "Use hardware acceleration" under Tools - Options - LibreOffice - View "Graphics Output". If that helps, then not experiencing the problem with other applications is likely because they don't use hardware acceleration. Disabling "Use hardware acceleration" under Tools - Options - LibreOffice - View "Graphics Output" provided no help. I continue to experience the problem with Calc but not with other applications. libreoffice-5.1.5.2-3.fc24 has this problem for me. libreoffice-5.2.1.2-1.fc25 seems to work fine on my F25-a2 test install. Any chance that 5.2.1.2-1 could be put into F24 testing? Same here: Fedora 24, LO 5.1.5.2, Thinkpad X230, Intel Ivybridge. Disabling hardware acceleration does't solve the problem. I had to fall back and punt. I just can't be productive when Calc locks up every time I try to use it. I got rid of the Fedora builds using "dnf remove libreoffice*". I went to The Document Foundation and downloaded their .rpm for version 5.2.0.4. the TDF build fixes the problems. This is not an issue with my nvidia card and the nouveau driver; this is a build problem with F24 and LO 5.1.5.2. (In reply to bob from comment #8) > Any chance that 5.2.1.2-1 could be put into F24 testing? No. We don't do rebases in released Fedora versions. Identical problem here as bob's Fedora 24, kernel 4.7.2-201 x86_64 Window Manager: KDE (KDE Frameworks: 5.25.0, Qt: 5.6.1) Videocard: ATI radeon RS780, driver radeon (default) Libreoffice 5.1.5.2 hangs with calc exactly as described by bob Problem disappears downgrading to LO 5.1.3.2 (In reply to David Tardon from comment #11) > (In reply to bob from comment #8) > > Any chance that 5.2.1.2-1 could be put into F24 testing? > > No. We don't do rebases in released Fedora versions. Too bad, as it would be nice to have a solution available that is known to work. Are there any plans to add a 5.1.x build to the testing branch? When I filedd this bug the version effected was marked stable and no other builds were available in the testing branch. Its quite probable that this is the same problem as https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101213 (where the use of CAIRO_OPERATOR_DIFFERENCE causes some drivers to bog down and become super slow. That definitely fits with the version numbers mentioned here. So I feel that this is probably resolved with the current 5.1.6 update (5.1.6.2-1.fc24) given the version its reported to appear in and the upstream commentary. If I'm wrong and the problem persists, then the only direction to go in I feel is to try and bibisect libreoffice (can google for details) to find the commit range which made things go wrong on your hardware combination |
