Repost with better title. :slight_smile:

I use lubuntu-18.10.
Sometimes, a letter gets corrupted but I only see it in libreoffice.

This example the 'p' displays as a ',':

I've also seen it when '2' displays garbled.

Any ideas about how to track down what software has the problem?

as time passes,  my libre office writer and calc  sheets continue to get slower and slower and slower and now they are crashing regularly  locking up my system, which is hard to do,
and switching back and forth as each commend is given in some kind of way that blacks out my screen for minutes sometimes.  what gives, we had a damn good office package,
but it seems to have been ruined.  How can I get copies of the system three years ago.. they were stable, worked like champs..

Its so slow it is almost like a keystroke logger is at work..

what gives

It seems you're using the Lubuntu (ie, Ubuntu) LibreOffice version, which is different from the "official" TDF LibreOffice one. At times, the packaged versions within Linux distributions may introduce unwanted effects that the official version doesn't suffer of.

I'd first encourage you to download and install the said official version and test with it. If you get the same problems, come back and report here.

(look at the Debian / Ubuntu / Mint section)
