            Bug ID: 124284
           Summary: CPUs go to 100% when using Shift-Key in Writer:
                    Custom-Properties, Text-Fields.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.5.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: benicovdw at gmail.com

Description:
In LO-Writer "Custom Properties" "Text Fields": touching the "shift-key" (to
capitalize letters) pushes CPUs to 100%. 

Fault is not reproduced with Caps Lock nor if the fields are copied & pasted.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Writer and goto File -> Properties -> Custom Properties
2.Create a new Property of type text ... Give it a Name 
3.Start to enter the field value for that property and use shift-key to
capitalize a word.

Actual Results:
Properties Box freezes, CPU's go to 100%. It does recover after a while.
With the AppImage version the [OK] [Cancel] [Reset] and [Help] buttons also
continue to flicker in a fast sequence one-after-the-other ... after some time
(dependent on the number of capitals) the cpu load goes down and the typed
letters appear in the input box.

Expected Results:
Just entered a capital letter - without freezing up the system for 30s to 3min.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
This bug is present since release 5 ... installations has been on various
computers with Ubuntu 16.04 as well as 18.04. Installation source has always
been the zipped .deb packages - with the EN-ZA helppack and the AF and EN-ZA
langpacks.
