Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 27184
hang 20 seconds after first word entered / autoreplace
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:22:52 UTC
Whenever I first start the word processor program, and start to type the first word, and then type space to go on to the next word, the program pauses or hangs for about 20 seconds with disk activity, as if something is being compiled; from that point on, everything works well. I use a 1.5 GigHz laptop, 512 Meg memory, so lack of basic power isn't the problem. I do have a number of self-added autocorrect replace words added to those that come with the system (technical abbreviations that get expanded as I type). I notice that when I add a new one, and then enter OK, that a similar pause occurs before returning to the text buffer. So perhaps there is a compilation going on. Why does it need to be redone each time? For me, needing to wait 20 seconds is quite inconvenient. Could the same process be done at system startup (using the Quickstarter)? If I am missing some trick, please let me know. Jack

confirming with 1.1.2rc linux build replacement table from reporters file counts 893 entries and is for English UK, USA documents.

The term in the documents seems to be "AutoCorrect". Note that the same issue is seen in Calc entering the first text in a cell after starting the program. Is any workaround known?
build 1.9.84 still has a long pause when opening autocorrect menu, or first using the autocorrect replace function, but now without disk activity. I still see this long pause as an important defect.
See Issue 45506 posted for 1.9.84. Since I corrected the replacement texts that had spaces at their end, not only does the autocorrrect work for those replacements, but now the time required for recompiling, or whatever it is called, when I enter a space after the first word of a new text document, has been reduced to about 2 seconds, still not ideal but a big improvement over the previous 20 seconds or more. After entering a new definition, the pause after clicking OK to close the dialog box is also now about 2 seconds. So these two issues seem to be related by the ending spaces in the current version. Previous versions seemed to do the replacements, unlike Issue 45506, but with the slowness problem. I don't have a machine with the older version 1.1.4 to test now: would removing the spaces by hand have the same speedup effect as in this version?
confirmed on SRC680_m119 still occures. after the first start of the office, the wordprocessor needs up to 10 seconds to react after typing the first word and a blank space. tested with the attached file on linux. after talking to fme reassigned to os
