[Calc] - Rendering problems /very slowly in 4.2?

Hi.

Sorry for my english. I'll try to write properly.

I'm so desperate. On Debian Testing, today an upgrade takes me Libreoffice 4.2... I think... «Oh yeah!»... but... now, I only think «Gnumeric, Gnumeric, I need you unfortunately» :frowning:

I work with Calc a lot. With that upgrade, I've one big problem

Scrolling the mouse... soooo slow, and It lets lots of artifacts and rendering problems that makes Calc unusable... And I'm not the only one https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/39474

I used Ubuntu 14.04, Lubuntu 14.04 and Xubuntu 14.04 that have the 4.2 branch, and it happens (and happened) too. I've thinked that it was a Desktop Environment problem, because on Testing (in that time with 4.1) that didn't happen...

It happens on 4 PCs with different hardware configuration. So sad... I don't want to use Gnumeric, but... I've no choice :frowning:

Other thing is the important regression on the spreadsheet's speed. With 3.000+ rows and tons of numbers, it's 3x slower than 4.1 version...

Did anyone of you suffer this annoying problem?

Hi :slight_smile:
It might be good to go straight to posting a bug-report
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport
Hopefully that link helps you see if there are already existing reports
about it. If there are then just add a comment to one of them instead of
starting another report. Version numbers are useful!

Then until it gets fixed it's probably best to use Gnumeric. There is no
harm with doing that. Although we are competitors we are all one big wider
community really and co-operate with each other. There is no problem with
using different programs when they all co-operate with each other, as
Gnumeric and LibreOffice (and many others) do.

When the problem gets fixed just come back to Calc.

The only problem is when you have to go back to MS Office or something else
that tries to be incompatible with everyone else and LibreOffice mostly
handles that fairly well too anyway :slight_smile:
