To mitigate this problem I think we should only offer a view of the
symbols in current category. That's what MSWord and OO Writer do AFAIK.

We already have that. It doesn't help, though, since the categories need to be calculated nevertheless (the combo is still needed).

By the way, I think I'd prefer a side list widget instead of combo at the top for the category selection.

Something like the attached (only a mockup, no actual code).

Warning: I am notoriously bad Qt designer.
