Calc is almost unusable. Whenever typing anything into a cell there is a delay of 10-15 seconds between input and actual change on display.
Please test with a clean profile, Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode
It makes no difference.
Does it happen with any file?
This happens with any file I open, doesn’t matter how big it is
I suspect it’s a KDE (if you’re using that) with kf5 VCL backend issue. Try if invoking from the command line with
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3_kde5 soffice
helps. If not, then maybe gkt3 instead of gtk3_kde5.
Gave this a try. gtk3 works better, well, slightly better. At times there is a real time reaction other times is just the same as before.
To add to the problem, it is not only an extreme lag but keystrokes are not interpreted in the proper order.
I would navigate to a different cell, for example, up twice and right once and begin typing. The actual result would be that text would be entered in the current cell and then the navigation would occur to the new cell.
Well you could try if using GNOME or Xfce instead of KDE would change things, but of course that likely wouldn’t be desired.
Btw, why such an old 7.1.4.2 version (yes, OpenSuse Leap 15.3, but…), maybe something more recent would already solve things.
