I have noted the same symptoms for months; i.e. 100% usage of one cpu core with any document opened in LibreOffice for an extended period. Simple 10kB text file in Writer or large spreadsheet in Calc. Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS, LibreOffice 6.0.7.3 00m0(Build:3). This behavour has not improved with any main line updates from Ubuntu.

To the extend that libreoffice calc is UNUSABLE for anything that has to do with spreadsheets. As far as I am concerned, this is a critical bug because it makes the program unusable, and often even the complete computer due to the high cpu load. - 'Every action' includes typing as much as one single letter in a cell. Or opening the file. - the file I am working on is only 1.1Mb in size - the same file used to open fine in previous versions of libreoffice. what I've tried so far - without any improvement in speed: - under tools, options, assigned memory 256 Mb for Libreoffice, and 20Mb per object (no solution) - automatic calculation has been turned off (no solution) - libreoffice-gnome and libreoffice-gtk have been removed (no solution) - purged and reinstalled libreoffice. (no solution) - created new user profile - also no resolve System: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on AMD A8 with 8Gb ram and running on an SSD.
