Howdy,

pics and such.� I highlight what contains the info I want, which may
include some things I don't, then copy it to my clipboard.� I then go to
LOo and paste it as HTML since that's what it is.� Once pasted, I remove
things I don't want, such as social media icons and other unwanted
things.� I also make some images larger, make text larger and such as

document.� That's how I did it in the past.� When I would paste the
contents, it would include images and all and would be done in seconds,
well under a minute for sure.
When I paste the content now, it doesn't include pics.� The boxes is
there and text for the link to the image but no image.� It also locks
LOo up for minutes.� If I try to scroll up or down, it locks up again.
Even with all that, it never loads the images.� I end up killing the
process.� I think this started when the 6.3.* versions came out.� I
would normally go back to a older version but those are no longer in the
tree. I'm wondering if a USE flag could make it work again.� I used euse

change it.� What I think the problem could be, LOo can't reach the
network anymore.� In the past when I pasted content, I could see
activity on the network.� I think LOo was fetching the pics and maybe
even some other info as well.� Thing is, I don't see why it can't now.
Again, USE flag maybe???

Anyone have a clue how to fix this?
I use LO quite a lot; but it is a beast and they are constantly
'tweaking' small details........
SO, you are not alone. If you'll post and example download and a brief
example guide to what use to work and what does not work now, I'll see
if I can duplicate the problem. Here is my current LO setup:
Installed versions: 6.3.4.2-r1^t(02:24:34 AM 02/11/2020)(branding
cups dbus gstreamer gtk java ldap mariadb odk pdfimport postgres
and
app-office/libreoffice-l10n
Installed versions: 6.3.4.2 ... en
I'm interested in more advanced viewing of any and all sorts of
electrical/electronic file viewing.....
curiously,
James
