[Bug 1405084] Re: VERY slow when using images in Writer

 

That problem was introduced with LO 4.0. Older versions work more than
ten times faster when scrolling images. The bug is independent from the
image type (jpg, tiff, gif, ...), color depth or the program the image
was created with. It was reported many times by different users and
every time the report was closed without solving the problem. The
solution I use is to work with Apache OpenOffice 4.1, which works as
fast as expected and shows that it is no problem of slow hardware or
image cache settings.

Title:
  VERY slow when using images in Writer

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Scolling and typing becomes painfully slow when an image is added in
  LibreOffice Writer. It becomes faster (not much) when the same image
  covers a smaller area.

  From settings, I've tried to maximize the graphics memory, and to
  enable/disable hardware acceleration and antialiasing, but it doesn't
  help.

  The problem persists in LibreOffice 4.3.5-rc2 from ubuntu PPA.
