LibreOffice 7.5.4.2 slows to a crawl upon update

Linux (Manjaro)

It takes about 1 minute for LibreOffice to launch after updating. This also occurs when opening any additional files.

The last time I updated this same issue occurred; I solved it by forcefully removing xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-gtk. This time that isn’t working.

I don’t think this is related to a printer issue, as I have unticked “Paper tray from printer settings” and ensured that my printer is connected.

sudo pacman -Rdd xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
