Bug#887404: libreoffice: LibreOffice eats up 100%CPU even without any document loaded
Dear Rene,
I just looked it up in the apt history.log and found the culprit:
libreoffice was udated to 1:5.4.3-4(+b1) beginning of this year, but
during the installation of gnome, cinnamon and mate last week (parallel
to the already existing and mainly used KDE) it installed (among others)
libreoffice-gtk3.
First I deinstalled the metapackages libreoffice-gnome and gnome, so it
won't install again after an upgrade. Then I deinstalled
libreoffice-gtk3 and now it runs normally again!
So the bug seems to be caused by libreoffice-gtk3.
Only bad thing is: Now it looks really ugly again... :) Some long time
ago after an update it stopped integrating into KDE looks. Since then it
was ugly (like bad contrasts of activated icons, no use of KDE system
window color themebla etc.)
But at least it runs smooth again.
So thanks for your time!
Maria
Bytheway is there an libreoffice kde integration package or something
similar? I didn't find any.
