Where to find older versions of LibreOffice Portable?

English
#1

I started using LibreOffice around April 2021 to about a few weeks ago, when I decided to upgrade to the newest version of it. Unfortunately, the newest version has a lag problem, most noticeable when scrolling through a document that’s more than a single page. I’ve tried to find the last version I downloaded, but can’t seem to find it anywhere. I did find two sources: SourceForge and Uptodown, but the former doesn’t have the right version, and the latter seems to be a bit sketchy.

I believe the version I’m looking for was one of the 7.1 versions, though I don’t remember the exact one.

Click Help > About LibreOffice in the dialogue, click the icon next to version information to copy information to clipboard. Click pencil icon here to edit your question and paste info.

If you want LibreOffice Portable I guess you are on Windows. Before you downgrade try clicking Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View and ticking the box Force Skia software rendering. That should fix issue but you could try unticking Use Skia for all rendering if it persists.

If you really want to downgrade, old versions are in the Archive Index of /libreoffice/old (Edit 2 hours later: linked from LibreOffice Download page). Choose by release date (14th April 2021 was 7.1.2.2) and in next screen select Portable then version, Standard or All.

Note 1. that not every release had a portable version
Note 2. Installed versions LibreOffice normally run a lot faster than portable.

Off-Topic here, but why should they be slowed down??

Dunno. Installed version in Programs runs a bit faster than version in C:\LibreOffice Server. Portable version on pen drive runs a lot slower.

OK - mine are also on the same drive as the regular ones, but on another partition. So they survive even a complete install of Windows or change of version. Never seen much difference in speed.
