     Hello all,

After the update to 7.3 libreoffice (5.0.6.2-3.el7.x86_64) became 
unusable slow.
For an excel file with 250 rows even a simple scroll takes a few 
seconds, during that time the Xorg server is 100% working and the GPU 
utilization is at about 77% (from NVIDIA server settings).

I have tried disabling the hardware acceleration (options->view) and 
OpenCL (options) but the problem and the high usage for Xorg and GPU 
persisted.

I have seen the the same bug (probably) was present in Fedora 23 
(libreoffice version 5.0.5.2-1.fc23.x86_64 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1308700)

Does anyone had the same problem and if yes what was the fix?
Does RedHat 7.3 has the same problem?
I have searched the bugzilla database and found only the Fedora bug.

System info: Intel I3-6098P, 8GB ram, NVIDIA GT 240 with all the 
packages updated.
