[Solved] Delay inside Notes windows

[Hagar Delest]

I have two presentations. When I try an edit it the one with 120 slides - the notes inside each slide - there is a three or four second delay. For instance, when I want to edit the text and click the cursor at the spot I want to change, it takes three or four seconds for the cursor to appear. Maybe longer. There's also a delay when backspacing to remove text. And when I want to remove a block of text, first there's the delay of getting the cursor at the beginning of the text, then I'll scroll to the last part that I want to remove, but it'll take a good five seconds for the text to highlight. And when I go to clear it, again, there's a delay for the text to disappear.

There's no delay when editing the slides themselves. Only the text in the "Notes" windows.

I also have a presentation of 55 slides. And the delay isn't as bad. So I guess it's the fact that the 120 slide presentation is bigger. But there shouldn't be any delay. Can anything be done about this?

I am using an older Libre Office version, 5.2.5.1 Would updating help? The reason why I was always hesitant to update it was because I don't want to mess anything up.

I just tried it in Open Office, and there is no sluggishness or delay at all. So there must be an issue within Libre. I was using Open Office up until a few years ago but switched to Libre because when I clicked on a slide while editing, it would take me to the first slide instead.

Thanks.

Hi,
The bigger the presentation the bigger the trouble.
Had the same problem, and even with relative small presentation (about 40 slides) when I'm working with my mini PC (Atom processor) Impress can take really long time to react.

Try with a more powerful PC, that's the only solution.

I updated Libre Office and it looks like it cleared it up.
