I’ve noticed that when using Writer on ArchLinux that the program seems to freeze and not show anything that has been typed. However, by minimizing the window or even just clicking out of it and then back into the program it does show whatever had been typed and will return to normal operation for random lengths of time/input before exhibiting the same freezing behavior. I can always regain program responsiveness by minimizing or clicking out of the Writer app and then returning to the Writer app. This is quite frustrating and makes any document creation a pain.
Any idea how I would troubleshoot this behavior?
