First menu access is delayed - subsequent menu access is instant

English
#1

For as long as I can remember (many versions) the first time I access the menu in any LibreOffice application there is a delay of perhaps 3-4 seconds before the menu appears. Subsequent menu access is instantaneous. Interestingly if I open the LibreOffice common shell (not Writer, Calc, Base, Impress, etc) the menu access is instantaneous also, it only seems to occur within one of the LO apps. Preloading (on Windows start) LibreOffice has no effect on this.

Not a huge deal as I now expect this behaviour and it only occurs once until you close and reopen LibreOffice again; but it would be an annoyance for anyone new to LibreOffice and is inconsistent with other applications.

Anyone else noticed this and/or know of a fix before I create a bug report?

@mikekaganski I wonder whether you don’t notice it because you have 24 CPU threads?

#5

I doubt it. Our UI is handled in one thread.

#6

That’s what I thought you’d say, but figured you’d know :+1:

Just had another thought, and added soffice.exe and all other LO exe’s to the Windows graphics options and set them to all use my dedicated GPU instead of integrated. Problem solved. Interesting though that I haven’t had this issue with any other application.

Any thoughts @mikekaganski (since you are closer to dev than most people here)?

#7

Don’t know what to answer you. If that’s an initialization of some graphics, that should be done much earlier. My gut feeling would be that it’s the list of documents - but again, it has already shown in the start center. No idea, actually.

@mikekaganski not sure if you want to add anything?

I can only suggest you to try to create a backtrace at the moment when it’s waiting - using How to get a backtrace with WinDbg - The Document Foundation Wiki . It sometimes allows to fix even problems that we can’t repro ourselves.

Thanks, will look into it :+1:
