I have a relatively small document (~10 pages) with several reference marks within. No images. When I try to highlight text, the document lags for about 1 second and then shows me the highlighted text. What can I do to speed LO writer up?
Using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
Thanks.
Still haven’t solved this issue: Dec 27, 2020. Thanks.
i have same issue archlinux and libreoffice-still package
This happens to me when I accidentally click on the header/footer areas, summoning the blue tabs. Clicking on the + to get the dropdown menu to delete it, letting the text settle, then saving and reopening the document seems to be a workaround, but is terribly inconvenient.

Bug post contains a response that solved the header/footer appearance issue forever, (You can disable the feature if it is not needed to you. It is configurable under Options->LibreOffice->Advanced->Open Expert Configuration; look for UseHeaderFooterMenu) and stopped the slow-highlighting issue.
Your post is not a solution (answer) to the above initial question. Please use a comment and delete this answer, thank you.
I believe it is - it discusses why it happens, and thus a way to avoid it (of course, OP could have something different, but it is not known).
Please see above.
