CentOS - Dec 2016 - libreoffice 5 slow after 7.3 update

Hello all,

After the update to 7.3 libreoffice (5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64) became 
unusable slow.
For an excel file with 250 rows even a simple scroll takes a few 
seconds, during that time the Xorg server is 100% working and the GPU 
utilization is at about 77% (from NVIDIA server settings).

I have tried disabling the hardware acceleration (options->view) and 
OpenCL (options) but the problem and the high usage for Xorg and GPU 
persisted.

I have seen the the same bug (probably) was present in Fedora 23 
(libreoffice version 5.0.5.2-1.fc23.x86_64 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1308700)

Does anyone had the same problem and if yes what was the fix?
Does RedHat 7.3 has the same problem?
I have searched the bugzilla database and found only the Fedora bug.

System info: Intel I3-6098P, 8GB ram, NVIDIA GT 240 with all the 
packages updated.

Hello

I had this problem in Fedora 22/23? and the solution was install 
LibreOffice 5.1 from the LibreOffice site.

Best

Thank you, I have installed the latest version from libreoffice site and 
everything is OK now.

But I am wondering it is something with my setup or it's a bug in 
CentOS, does anybody encountered the same problem in CentOS 7.3?

Best regards,
Alexandru

You should best duplicate that bug and report it against RHEL 7 (if it
is indeed the same issue). Don't expect a quick fix though. Early this
year I reported two segfaults (of the type click/crash) in Rhythmbox on
7 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1241925), provided
references to upstream fixes (very small patches), tested these patches
so the RH developers could be confident they weren't wasting their time
on incorrect patches, and we still had to wait nearly 9 months for a fix
to appear. Made me conclude that Red Hat does not really care about
desktops. Otoh, perhaps they prioritize LibreOffice over Rhytmbox.

Regards,
Leonard.
