Created attachment 1222159 [details] A Screencast of Embedded PNGs slowing the scroll Description of problem: My laptop has quite good specs (core i7 haswell [quad-core], 16 GBs of RAM, Intel Iris Pro 5200 with 128 MB DRAM, and 250 GBs SSD). I use 2-finger touchpad scrolling all the time. When there's an embedded image in LibreOffice Writer, it slows down the scrolling especially with toucpad. Using the scrollbar mitigate the issue a little, but not a practical solution. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libreoffice-5.2.3.3-4.fc25.x86_64 libreoffice-gtk3-5.2.3.3-4.fc25.x86_64 libreoffice-writer-5.2.3.3-4.fc25.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new document. 2. Insert or Paste some PNG Images. 3. Try to scroll through the pages, and compare pages with Text only and pages with Images. Actual results: Images slows down the scrolling. Expected results: Images doesn't slow down the scrolling. Additional info: In the attached video, I used 3 ways of scrolling: 1. First by dragging the scrolling bar, 2. Then scrolling using the mouse wheel, 3. Finally, using 2-finger touchpad gesture. The difference is noticeable.
attach your sample document
Created attachment 1222377 [details] Sample document with embedded PNGs This is the sample document I was using when I noticed the lag. It's in Arabic, I don't know if this will affect anything.
Worth noting that this issue doesn't occur with SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kde4 or gen, but with KDE4, there's a lot of tearing when scrolling (I'm using Wayland). I couldn't test 5.2.3 GTK2 (Every time I use SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk2, it gives me the default GTK3). It doesn't occur with LibreOfficeDev 5.3 GTK2, KDE4, or Gen. (I couldn't test GTK3 because it's disabled in the compiled builds, and I didn't have time to compile the source myself).
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk2 doesn't exist, for historic reasons it is spelled SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk
Created attachment 1222383 [details] GTK2 LibreOffice scrolling with tearing (In reply to Michael Stahl from comment #4) > SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk2 doesn't exist, for historic reasons it is spelled > SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk Oh, my bad. Now, I can try GTK2 with 5.2.3. It's scrolling without lags but with the same tearing issue that I've found in KDE4, but the tearing is another issue. Recording with GNOME Shell under Wayland is broken, because the jittery effect isn't happening as shown in the video, it's just tearing that I can notice.
I've finally found the time (and disk space) to compile LibreOfficeDev 5.3 from source code. the same issue exists there too for GTK3 backend, no issues with GTK2, KDE4 or Gen.
I have the same issue here : images make Libreoffice's scrolling very slow. I use KDE as a desktop environment. Build ID: 5.2.5.1-6.fc25 4.9.7-201.fc25.x86_64 KDE 5.29.0 Qt 5.7.1 I'll be happy to provide further information as I'm writing my Phd with Libreoffice and solving this issue would help me a lot not getting mad :)
I wonder if this is solved with the fix for bug 1367846 in testing update 5.2.7.2-3.fc25 ?
I've got the same bug on LibreOffice Writer version 5.3.7.2-1.fc26. It's damn too slow with GTK3 backend, switching to KDE4 backend helps.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
This bug persists in Fedora 26. Please reopen the bug. Also, if you try to type new text in areas above the pictures, the text only shows up after a multi-second delay. Entering text below the pictures occurs with no delay.
Re-opening the bug as it's still persisting in the current version of Fedora (27).

If the solution has been backported to the affected versions above (as mentioned in the upstream bug), I assure you that it's not working right now, but I need confirmation from the maintainer. -- [1] https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87485
"slowness" bugs tend to linger for ages given the subjectivity around what is slow and the difficultly to reproduce on different hardware setups

The speed of libre -office is somewhat improved, especially the graphics. But libre-office in combination with gtk3 is stil unusable for large presentations. With libreoffice-gtk3-6.0.3.2-10.fc28.x86_64 installed and enabled. - My CPU Core stay at 99% busy for the soffice.bin process - I can't use the user interface, it continues blokes Without any gtk library installed - The CPU sticks at 12% and the Xwayland process between 35% till 69%. I - I can stil use the interface.
