Ok, so this is happening again in 10.10. I've noticed a few more things
though:

1. This bug sometimes causes X to crash. I've experienced it a few
minutes ago. I had resumed from suspend maybe 4 hours ago and worked on
a bunch of things in Emacs, Firefox and Evolution and a few other X
clients (like xpdf). Then I turned to Open Office writer to check
something in a document. The document was very slow to scroll. Writer
was in effect exhibiting the symptoms described earlier in this bug
report.

After paging up maybe 4 or 5 times, X crashed.

The only X client started before the suspend-resume cycle and which
showed any trouble was Open Office. (Emacs, FF, Evolution were also all
started before the suspend-resume cycle: no problem with them.)

2. The soffice.bin process remained running from the previous X session.
Note that everything else which was X related died when the X session
died. Only, soffice.bin remained. Running oowriter from the command line
does nothing. The old soffice.bin must be killed before OO can be used
again.

3. I checked to see whether the HD was being accessed abnormally (e.g.
thrashing) but did not see anything abnormal there.

Why did I not experience X crashes before? I think the answer is just
that in the past, I would very quickly close OO as soon as I experienced
the bug so I was removing the opportunity for a crash. This time, I
insisted on scrolling to a bit of text I needed to cut and paste to
emacs. I thought I was really close to the passage I wanted to cut and
paste but I was wrong and X crashed before I could get there.

It may also have to do with the document I was scrolling. This is the
largest OO document I have. It also happens to contain about as much
Chinese as English. So of all the documents I work with this is the one
which is most taxing on oowriter.
