After a fresh install of Linux Mint on my system, Libreoffice feels slow and unresponsive. Every time I type something, there is a significant delay before the text comes up.



This is especially annoying on Calc, but Writer is affected too

          After digging around a bit, I found the delays are gone when libreoffice-gtk3 package is removed:



          sudo apt remove libreoffice-gtk3


          But then, libreoffice appearance is very poor.
          I found that libreoffice-gtk2 package fixes both things: integrated looks and responsiveness:



          sudo apt install libreoffice-gtk2


          Or, simply



          sudo apt install libreoffice-gtk
