[libreoffice-users] LO3.4.3 hangs on several occasions

LibreOffice 3.4.3 running on Arch Linux hangs for extended periods whenever
certain things are done. For example, with a blank new document, the
following actions result in a hangup:

- trying to open the font window
- moving between the tabs in the paragraph window
- opening settings and moving between sections
- trying to load an odt document which Abiword opens just fine

The hangup can last for minutes, but resolves eventually.

I have disabled Java in LibreOffice and I have deleted my user profile. No
help whatsoever.

When I open LibreOffice and right-click on a new document, then try to open
the dialogue window for changing fonts, LibreOffice hangs and strace gives
something like this:

5289  05:31:56.241336 read(24, 0xa008108, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
5289  05:31:56.241414 poll([{fd=24, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000) = 0 (Timeout)
5289  05:31:57.242597 gettimeofday({1319855517, 242643}, NULL) = 0
5289  05:31:57.242758 poll([{fd=24, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, -1) = 1
([{fd=24, revents=POLLOUT}])
5289  05:31:57.242945 writev(24, [{"\27\0\2\0\350\1\0\0", 8}, {NULL, 0},
{"", 0}], 3) = 8
5289  05:31:57.243128 poll([{fd=24, events=POLLIN}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=24,
revents=POLLIN}])
5289  05:31:57.243321 read(24,
"\1\0\224\0\0\0\0\0\36\1@\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 4096)
= 32
5289  05:31:57.243518 read(24, 0xa008108, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
5289  05:31:57.243680 read(24, 0xa008108, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
5289  05:31:57.243843 futex(0x9794090, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2, NULL


After a few minutes the program starts to respond again, but may very well
hang again if I try to change something else, like paragraph settings.

This is really frustrating, but I can't figure out what's causing it. Any
ideas?

By the way, I can't remember what version of LibreOffice I was running
before 3.4.3, but this problem is quite new nevertheless. I've been using
LibreOffice for months.
