Thanks. I've done that. In my case, there are (generally) no crashes, just freezes and terribly slow scrolling, but there may be some common cause for sure, at least to part of the problem...

From the start, Libreoffice writer (1:5.1.2-0ubuntu1 - amd64) has struggled with a "large" file I have been working on since Ubuntu 15.04, although it works perfectly for newly created files or existing smaller files, though. I was hoping to continue using my exiting file, however: one that counts about 14,000 paragraphs, 3.5 million characters and some 300 tables as well a large number of bookmarks/internal links). I should have hoped that LO would simply load it and let me get on with my work as it did before. Unfortunately, here is what really happens whenever I try to load it: - when the progress bar completes , Writer greys out and locks up for several minutes on end (anything from a few minutes to a quarter of an hour) - during that time, the interface is clearly distorted (two overlapping status bars - duplicated vertical scrollbars at the right side - the title bar covering up the menu bar as well as part of the upper toolbar - the horizontal ruler shifted to the right, causing the "comments" column to appear on the left rather than the right) - when the file eventually gets loaded and the interface is restored, the menus turns out to be unusable: the drop-downs are narrow blacks slabs without any entries and without any responsiveness - the page count is wildly off: the file is about 1100 pages, yet Writer reports over 1800; at any moment, however, it will update its count to reflect the actual number. - random actions can produce a new prolonged lock-up; in particular copying text, opening up the navigator or doing a search. The only way to open the file in a usable way is to restart Writer several times in a row (which takes LOTS of patience considering the time it takes the file to load...) Apparently, the only way to avoid these problems is to delete the libreoffice-gnome/gtk packages. Unfortunately, that leaves me with an interface that looks like are relic from a previous century.... I did not much like that, so I have experimented with the debs available directly from the LibreOffice project. Sadly, I am seeing the same behaviour.
