I have been running Libra Calc ver 7.0.1 and 7.0.2, over the last few months, both slowed down my input speed.
It was very slow to show character on screen and I found I was missing some character because if it did not show before I hit the next one it did not show at all. It took me a while to realise it was Calc and not my PC.
Some people have this problem with input being slow and characters being dropped with version 6. It sounds like it gets even worse with version 7. Michael and I have been investigating this and believe we have come up with a solution that should fix it. I'm leaving today on vacation to a quiet cabin in the mountains where I hopefully won't be disturbed and can focus on the change to the software.
The problem is that for some reason if the log book image is rotated, LibreOffice reads the image from disk again and rotates it after every entry you make.
This takes quite a bit of time and if you are very fast at all you get ahead of it and characters get dropped. However, if there is zero rotation of the image, it only gets read from disk one time and everything is fast. We believe we have a solution that will pre-rotate the image to fool LibreOffice into thinking the image is not rotated. We'll do this by reading the image from disk, rotating it and saving the the rotated image, then read the already rotated image so that LibreOffice won't try to rotate it for every entry.
No guarantees this will work, but it's worth a try.
