I suggest going into the libreOffice settings and play around with the graphical
settings (LibreOffice->View) and turn off Java (LibreOffice->Java) to see
if this makes any difference.  I pretty much never use the Java features in
LibreOffice, and found it?s incredibly faster with it turned off.

Thank you Jonathan! Will give it a try and report back after an
appropriate period - likely tomorrow A.M.

Uh-oh! Can't find that!

Went to an open spreadsheet, clicked view in toolbar, nothing there that
might be Java related AFAICT.

Tried on Tools->Options->LibreOffice->, nothing there looks Java
related. On the graphics, only selections for hardware acceleration and
anti-aliasing were available.

Tried under that LibreOffice selection all its sub-categories and under
"Advanced" found "Use a Java runtime environment" with
"Sun
Microsystems" selection turned on. Figuring this was the one, I turned
off the whole "Use a Java runtime environment".

Is this the correct one?

Anyway, stopped Libreoffice and restarted to make sure I didn't screw up
my basic needs.

Came back up, so it looks like at least basic needs working.

I also looked in Tools->Options->LibreOffice Calc and saw nothing.

Thanks,
Bill
