Title: Libreoffice 5.1.5~rc1-1 slow scrolling speed makes it unusable
Post by: kulturedyobbo on July 25, 2016, 11:14:35 AM
When I updated my system last Friday 25th July 2016, and then used my upgraded Libreoffice, I found that when I scroll a large  odt document of say fifty or more pages, I find lines of text disappear or only fractionally appear. Also, when I do word searches, I find sections of text getting jumbled as the scrolling often can't keep up with it. I never had this trouble with the previous version 5.1.4~rc1-1 and when I booted into my secondary OS, namely Debian Stable Jessie, using the old 4.3.3-2+deb8u5, I had no problems and was able to do my work. Has anyone else had this problem with the latest 5.1.5~rc1-1?

Cheers

I just updated my system today (Friday 05th August 2016) and found that Libreoffice had a minor upgrade to 5.1.5~rc2-1. However, this bug was still there so I purged my system of Libreoffice and downgraded to 5.1.4.2-2 which works perfectly.
