Re: [orca-list] Libreoffice Calc gets slower and slower with Orca running

[Nick Wood <nick microlitesoftware co uk>]

Hi all,

I have just built the latest Libreoffice from git, and so far I haven't 
been able to reproduce this problem, so perhaps the bug has been fixed 
by someone recently.

In my system's currently installed Libreoffice version (v5.1) I can 
reproduce the problem quite quickly by pressing F2 and then Escape 
repeatedly.

However in the latest version (5.2 alpha) that I built from source, I've 
pressed that combination for around 5 minutes and Orca remains 
responsive throughout.

If anyone else fancies building Libreoffice from source to confirm that 
would be much appreciated.

Fingers crossed!

Regards,

Nick
