After a bit of hesitation, I took the plunge and upgraded from LO 2024 to LO 2026. I can undoubtedly say the speed improvement is impressive, even on my 5-year-old laptop with its measly 16 GB of RAM / old NVIDIA MX450 Graphics card.
BUT I did find an issue that causes LO 2026 to slow to a crawl. Everything runs fast and snappy with the “Pages” Tray collapsed. If it’s expanded, however, when performing the same task, moving or snap viewports in alignment, it slows to a crawl. Collapse the Pages Tray again, and everything speeds back up.
It would be great to get it fixed.
