Working with Libreoffice is so slow
|
Edhoari Setiyoso
Hi All,
I'm trying to edit document with LibreOffice Calc. Mowing between cell is so slow. I have to wait around 3-4 seconds before I can type anything. Is there a way to workaround this? Note: I have the same issue with LibreOffice Writer as well. -- Edhoari Setiyoso edhoari<dot>s<at>gmail<dot>com |

Hi, Sorry for the delay in replying, I'm still catching up. Is this sluggishness with a particular file, or any file (or a blank sheet etc)? A couple of thing to try or find out please: - Which version of LibreOffice are you running? - Which version of Windows? - Which version of NVDA? - Are you using any add-ons? - If you restart NVDA with addons disabled (press NVDA+q, then down arrow to restart with addons disabled) does it make a difference. - Roughly how old is the computer you are using and are other programs sluggish?

Folks need to be on LibreOffice 5.3.7.2 of the 5.3 branch. Or 5.4.4.2 of the 5.4 branch. Earlier 5.3 releases are not fit to use, nor or earlier 5.4 releases--again either 5.3.7.2 or 5.4.4.2 (or later).
LibreOffice devs have been struggling with Microsoft DirectWrite Direct2D font rendering for several release cycles and either the 5.3.7 release (end of life) or current 5.4.4 release should be used--NVDA behaves well with either but the Graphics card rendering mode will impact things. Most modern Windows systems will use OpenGL by default, and LibreOffice's DirectWrite Direct2D implementation has been a problem--more than just on screen rendering. Basically there were issues with failure to cache the fonts in use in a document causing very slow rendering as you move from cell to cell in a calc spreadsheet or page through a Writer document. The 5.3.7 build is fine without OpenGL, but if using OpenGL (likely for most) move to the 5.4.4 release, or the pending 6.0.0 release. Link below. Performance is much improved for all users, good scrolling and movement between spreadsheet cells. Stuart Link to the LibreOffice project build archive for the 5.4.4.2 build, 32-bit or 64-bit builds: http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/5.4.4.2/win/ |

Is there a version of the suggested version for use as a portable app, as this is what I'm using it for.

i did not check portable versions of libreoffice recently. but previous versions are not usable with nvda. everytimes, when i opened one portable version of libreoffice, (i mean version 4 portable), libreoffice crashed even sometimes by going to menus and options! i am sure that i did not test libreoffice 5.1 and newer portable and have not idea in this regard. but for more certainty, i recommend installed version of libreoffice. this post is about libreoffice. can you please stuart brian, quentin and all, test my reported bug in this link, read my comments, (specially my description and last comment) and help me for finding a solution? i reported this bug around 7 months ago, but without confermation and solution from anyone!

If you only want writer, then the portable version is fine, if a little restrictive given you have no browse mode or say all etc in the document.
