            Bug ID: 113467
           Summary: Random hangs -- multiple situations
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.2.2 release
          Hardware: IA64 (Itanium)
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jrk1231-lo at nym.hush.com

Writer has been hanging anywhere from a few seconds to over a minute under a
lot of seemingly unrelated circumstances, such as:

1) Creating a new writer document
   a) New document simply takes "forever" to open, and/or
   b) Once new document is open, you cannot click in the document to start
typing, etc.

2) Opening an existing document (usually opens immediately, but hangs before
allowing you to even select the document)

3) Click in the document to start a selection point, then shift-click to mark
the end of the selection (usually selects text immediately, but someones can
take as long as 30 or more seconds to select as short as a single sentence)

4) Changing fonts via toolbar
   a) Sometimes it takes "forever" for the dropdown to appear
   b) Sometimes it will not react when selecting a font (dropdown just freezes,
then returns to original selection in tool bar)
   c) Most of the time it works okay, but doesn't just enough to be annoying

5) When typing (this is the really annoying one, as I touch-type, and it isn't
until the keyboard buffer fills and I start getting audio alerts I realize the
LO has frozen -- the buffered typing eventually shows up, but it is
hurry-up-and-wait)

6) When switching between already open documents, either via Windows menu or
CMD+` shortcut.
   a) When using menu, it simply freezes on selection and nothing happens until
LO unfreezes and switches to selected document
   b) When using shortcut, LO simply freezes


I have checked Activity Monitor when these freezes occur, and LO is using
essentially no resources, then has a big spike when it unfreezes. No other
processes are running that would eat up CPU or memory, either. I always have
plenty of free memory.
