libreoffice allmost causes a melt-down of CPU - very serious bug

dear comnmunity

running manjaro linux with kernel 4.14.74 on a Asus notebook Type A54L

with the following

i3 CPU
4 GB RAM

with or without LibreOffice started i have serious behaviour on the notebook The CPU-load is allmost 100 percent. The cooler runs from 3100 up to 4300 RPMs

note: some weeks ago all was fine - i guess that the trouble started with a update of the system.

any idea what i can do - what i can test.

By the way - should i get rrid of the bug while deinstalling the Libreoffice?

see below the bug report that i have found while doing some search on the net…

Dear Maintainer,

I see two lo_kde5filepicker instances consuming a lot of CPU time:

I do not know what these instances are doing or who started them, since libreoffice itself is not even running

As a workaround I try to deinstall libreoffice-kde5 again… :-/

see more here : https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=906987

well what can we do here.

shoulkd i deinstall libreoffice

Hi
Your far better off following this up with the Manjaro folks… I would suspect a KDE issue rather than libreoffice itself…

@dilbertone: You’ve posted in the following sub-forum…

Forum: Looking For Something Other Than Support?
If you are looking for manuals, books, repositories, hardware, software, etc. this is the place to see if someone can help you find it.

This will be moved to Applications. As Malcolm already mentioned, probably better to post in the Manjaro forums for this.

Moved from ‘Looking For Something Other Than Support?’ and open for posting again.

according to google that’s an intel graphics device
have you tried using uxa acceleration
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Switch_xf86-video-intel_to_UXA
or switch from the intel to the modsetting driver
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/change-video-driver-from-intel-to-modesetting/16554

Closing this thread, we’re not a Manjaro forum.
