[Bug 462487] Re: [ooo-build] Calc's marching ants bring Xorg to its knees - AA issue
Unfortunately, this issue also exists in LibreOffice. I'm seeing the issue on 12.04 LTS 64-bit, running on my Lenovo T61, with NVIDIA graphics. The marching ants selection causes Xorg process to spin one CPU core at 100% usage. Clearing the marching ants (by typing in another cell or etc) returns CPU usage to normal.

[Bug 462487] Re: [ooo-build] Calc's marching ants bring Xorg to its knees - AA issue
Confirmed situation in Maverick/OO 3.2.1; disabling the anti-aliasing does help a lot, but still affecting overall performance, e.g. switching from the desktop with OO active is slower than usual. In the confirmed situation, after selecting over 100 rows and two columns, X was using 100% of the 200% available(dual proc); OO became extremely slow while other apps would have to work on the other half of the processor power left. Besides that, my graphics card (nvidia GT9400) increased temperature by over 6 degrees C as compared to a normal working situation. Usually software would not be able to kill non-mechanical hardware, but this may come close if left undetected. Because not everyone is able to recognize the connection between the OO select-and-copy and all related issues commented upon here, this problem would have to be addressed quickly, imho... By the way, for completeness: the correct path to disable the antialiasing: (Main OO menu) ToolsOptionsOpenOffice.orgViewGraphics outputUse Anti-Aliasing (Uncheck this option) This will restore a workable state as soon as clicking the OK button is processed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462487 Title: [ooo-build] Calc's marching ants bring Xorg to its knees - AA issue -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I confirm this bug is still present in Kubuntu, I'm not sure how to know what version I'm running but the problem seems to have arrived recently, possibly in a recent update. Anyhow, disabling ant-aliasing does solve it.

Yes, for a workaround see bug #411542. I seem to be able to eliminate the marching ants slowdown here by turning off antialiasing as suggested there, so I suppose these two bugs are somehow related.
