           Product: LibreOffice

Description:
I recently installed Ubuntu 18.04 onto a laptop and immediately put LibreOffice
6.3.1 onto it. I've had problems ever since!

If LibreOffice is open, my computer feels laggy.
LibreOffice Writer is EXTREMELY laggy on some very large documents with mixed
English and Arabic--but mostly just when looking at certain pages--other pages
are much better.

LibreOffice Calc also had major issues: in one finance document I have which
was converted from an Excel document a while back, I have some macros and
macro-linked buttons. They've never worked since moving to LibreOffice but
that's ok. 
***When opening up the document, however, on this computer, those buttons would
vibrate continually (note that they slightly overlap so it's almost like an
algorithms is trying to fix them) and the document is COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. I
could click around cells and the formula box would update with that cell's
contents, but the cell would not be highlighted. 

I finally downgraded to LibreOffice 6.2.8 and now both the Writer and the Calc
issue are fixed and everything works just fine!

My system is Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Here's the 3 LibreOffice versions tested:

Versions Tested:
------------------
LibreOffice_6.3.1_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz [previous latest]     - BUG, tested
20191026
LibreOffice_6.3.2_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz [latest]                      - BUG,
tested 20191026
LibreOffice_6.2.8_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz [stable]                      - WORKS
FINE! Tested 20191026

Here's an example of how I've been uninstalling and installing versions:

To uninstall old version:
        - from a NON-libreoffice installation directory (ex: from home dir):
        sudo apt remove libreoffice6.3*
To install new version:
        - manually extract (right click file --> Exract here), then:
        cd into LibreOffice_6.3.2.2_Linux_x86-64_deb/DEBS dir, then:
        sudo dpkg -i *.deb



Steps to Reproduce:
TODO: these are personal documents I cannot share, so if able I'll try to get a
document with the problems which does not have personal info.

1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:
Editing in Calc is impossible: vibrating macro buttons and no cells can be
properly selected.

Editing in Writer on *some pages* is virtually impossible: it is missing
keystrokes like crazy and there is a 1~5 second lag between each character I
enter. 

Expected Results:
I should be able to edit any cells in Calc.
The macro buttons should sit still, not vibrate up and down rapidly a few
pixels at a time.

I should be able to type at a normal speed in Writer.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
The bug was introduced into LibreOffice between version 6.2.8 and version
6.3.1, as 6.3.1 and 6.3.2 are unusable for me, and 6.2.8 so far works
perfectly!
