Re: [libreoffice-users] Format>Page window slow opening

Hi.
I am loosing my RAM to LO until it slows right down, I looked about and 
there are a number of bugs lodged and I have some recollection (vague) 
about LO 5.6 having resolved much of it. So you could try going back to 
5.2 if that improves speed and hopefully some improvements will be 
backported to a release before 5.6.
It may also be nothing to do with these bugs I experience, but it is 
simple to go back to 5.2 to see if that fixes it and possibly check out 
the bugzilla https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch 
as often someone has had similar experiences but the situation has been 
resolved in the bug checking.
