Description chris 2012-03-24 13:10:30 UTC 
Problem description: 
For some reason, my Openoffice/Libreoffice Tips facility considerably slows the UI down.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable Tools/Options/General/Help Tips
2. Click around or hover on toolbar icon

Current behavior:
* It takes up to 2 seconds for the menu text or icon to 'raise' indicating clickability. Once raised, it registers a click rapidly. If I click prior to the 2 seconds, it will delay until the click registers.

Expected behavior:
* UI is snappy irrelevant of Help Tips setting.

Checked with:
LO 3.5.5.3 
Build ID: own W7 debug build
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit

Could not reproduce. No delays.
Comment 3 Aldo Román Nureña 2012-09-07 07:14:21 UTC 
fresh install on W7, help tips are already enabled... and no delays

could you please try on a virtual machine? so we can ensure fresh install on your system

screencast illustrating slow tooltip

I could not screencast the mouse pointer.
Hopefully you'll notice delay between iconchange->tooltip.
Note: Libreoffice built-in help is NOT installed.
Comment 5 chris 2012-09-07 14:26:24 UTC 
Installing LO built-in help does remove the delay.

Can we close this then?

Let's close.
