Public bug reported: Trying to scroll through the font list in the menu bar, I experience an unacceptable degree of lagging. Just popping up the dropdown list takes 7-10 seconds and the system takes the same amount of time to respond to perform individidual scrolling gestures to move through the list.
I have tried deb, snap and even the packages offered on the site of the LibreOffice project. They all manifest the same behaviour. I have had to downgrade to 7.2, which appears to be unaffected. I have contacted the LibreOffice team and they tell me that this should be solved by fontconfig 2.14. Unfortunately, Ubuntu 22.04 is shipping 2.13...
