Bug ID: 152019
Summary: Header/Footer popup tab causes lag (repeatable)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.2.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In Libreoffice Writer, after I accidentally click on the header/footer margin
areas and summon the blue Header/Footer tab menus, highlighting text and
opening the right-click menu will take between 1 and 2 seconds to display.
(described in the Design section of
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboard/Writer_SpecialIndicators#Header.2FFooter_Indication).
I noticed this only on a Book View document with a custom page size (5.25x8",
paperback size), doesn't happen as noticeably on default 8.5x11, in that the
delay for highlighting is less, but still there.
I found the same issue described here, but without understanding its cause:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/highlighting-very-slow-in-libreoffice-writer-v-7-0-3-1-00/59685
If I go into the stupid pop-up menu and "delete" the header AND footer (which
are blank and I thankfully don't have to use yet), then wait for the text to
settle, then save, then reopen the document, things go back to normal, but this
is highly disruptive to workflow, which involves a lot of window-swapping.
Steps to Reproduce:
0. in LibreOffice Writer
1. click on the upper/lower header/footer margins
2. summon the blue tabs which should fade in and out (useless feature)
3. highlighting text becomes a total PITA
Actual Results:
Clicking and dragging to highlight text takes between 1 and 2 seconds for the
highlight to display.
Expected Results:
The highlighted field ought to follow the click/drag at no less than half the
native screen refresh rate, whether or not the header/footer had been activated
during the process' uptime.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
I think I saw that the fade-in/out was decided in version 2? Doesn't even fit
in with the rest of the UX of writer, now, frankly. Feels misplaced.
Be advised: I use multiple monitors and always have some video streaming on the
other one. Like any normal human.
