Hi Samson,

I can not reproduce with OpenSuse 12.2.

Have you tried to reset the user profile?
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile

Adding Bjoern - maybe Ubuntu only?

It' is (probably) font related (myabe not even a bug). I've solved problem by removing texlive-fonts-{recommended,extra} and rebuilding fonts cache (sudo fc-cache -f -v). Hope it helps, since I' new "with bugs", should this be marked as resolved?

Update: I reinstalled TeXlive font packages and everything seems ok. Possibly, problem was caused by broken font cache.

Sounds good. Ales thanks for testing and updating us with that info.

Setting to Resolved > WORKSFORME as of comment #4.

I have followed the mentioned method and no luck for me.

1. I haven't install texlive-fonts-extra but I do have 
texlive-fonts-recommended and I have uninstalled it.
2. No improvement. If there should be any minute improvement, say, 
shorten the waiting time from 8 to 6 seconds before the menu popped up.  
I believe this should come from updating the Libre Office to version 4.1.
3.From your suggestion, fonts might be the ultimate cause of the 
problem. Since I am using Chinese system while Chinese font files size 
are very big comparing to English one, I try uninstalled Chinese fonts 
(total more than 200 fonts in my system), but still no luck. Another 
trial that haven't made is reinstall the whole system and avoid 
installing any texlive-fonts and software laTex. It is only a guess and 
this would take time to do while I am too busy to do it now.
4. The font cache had been rebuilt every time I remove the fonts.

For reference with:
LibreOffice Version: 4.2.4.2 on Debian Jessie
sudo fc-cache -f -v
did reduce the problem from about 9[s] to 1[s].

So thanks for the info! I wonder if this should be done by some installer to prevent problem to spawn on unaware users...

Thank you for you guy's information and effort to remove this bug. I 
have test it on my system - install 4.2.4 and using fc-cache. The 
situation has been improved a lot but the major problem doesn't disappeared.

What 's been improved
Formerly, not only the pop up of the formatting dialogue is slow (>13s), 
the operation inside the dialogue is also sluggish, e.g. sluggishly 
scrolling downward to find an appropriate date format. This situation go 
away now.

What's not been improved
On the contrary of what you claimed, I still have to wait for around 10s 
for the dialogue to pop up.
In the very beginning, I believed one of the factors caused the 
sluggishness Since I use a lot of traditional Chinese fonts (>100), I 
believed they are related. Chinese fonts are different from English one 
by its size, ranging from 5 to 10M per typeface while english ones are 
measured in K. After I unload all the chinese fonts except those default 
fonts installed by ubuntu , the pop-up time of the dialogue box reduced 
to 3s.
Moreover, I don't have this problem for libreoffice in Windows 7 version 
from the very beginning. Therefore I guessed that the way libreoffice 
linux read in the fonts when pop up the formatting dialogue is the major 
cause.  Large file size for chinese typeface means a lot of loading 
works need to be done. But I have no knowledge for the mechanism  
therefore I get no further comment.
In the mean time, I work around the problem with a new excellent feature 
of libreoffice, the Side Panel. But I am still longing for the removal 
of this bug so that libreoffice should become more perfect.
Finally, I think there are not sufficient asian or chinese open source 
programmers therefore any problem concerning these locales is difficult 
to be solved - I have also reported a problem unsolved until today that 
libredraw messed up  pdf containing chinese or 2 byte characters when 
read in. This will not happen in files contained only english or pictures.
Finally I also apologize for I cannot attend the forum discussion til 
the end for I am engaged in other bussiness.

best regards


Samson

With the latest version of LibreOffice, the problem is still here. (The last fix is not working any more).

How to reproduce :

1. Create a new LibeOffice Calc document (or open any, in any format)
2. Left-click on any cell.
3. Select "Format Cell..."
4. Wait ~11[s] before the panel appear.

(hardware is fast here : Haswell i7, 16Gb RAM, SSD)

OS: Debian
Version: 4.3.0.4
Build ID: 430m0(Build:4)

How can we track that down?

Removing comma from whiteboard (please use a space to delimit values in this field)
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/Fields/Whiteboard#Getting_Started

It appears this was never confirmed, so status should be 'UNCONFIRMED'

I afraid I can't seem to reproduce the bug in LibreOffice Calc 4.2.6.3 and in Ubuntu 14.04
It seems to be a bug about the software you have.
Maybe you could update Python?

Not reproducible for me with versions 4.x built at home under Ubuntu 14.04 x86-64.

Which window-manager do you use (Gnome, KDE, XFCE, etc.) ?
Do you have assistive technologies activated for accessibility?

Set status to NEEDINFO. Please set it back to UNCONFIRMED once you have provided requested informations. Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards. JBF
