1 Howdy,
2
3 I don't use LOo a whole lot but several months ago, I noticed a
4 problem.  Sometimes I go to a electronic type website that has info on
5 circuits and how something works.  Those pages usually contain text,
6 pics and such.  I highlight what contains the info I want, which may
7 include some things I don't, then copy it to my clipboard.  I then go to
8 LOo and paste it as HTML since that's what it is.  Once pasted, I remove
9 things I don't want, such as social media icons and other unwanted
10 things.  I also make some images larger, make text larger and such as
11 well.  When I get it right, I print it as a pdf file or save it as a LOo
12 document.  That's how I did it in the past.  When I would paste the
13 contents, it would include images and all and would be done in seconds,
14 well under a minute for sure. 
15
16 When I paste the content now, it doesn't include pics.  The boxes is
17 there and text for the link to the image but no image.  It also locks
18 LOo up for minutes.  If I try to scroll up or down, it locks up again. 
19 Even with all that, it never loads the images.  I end up killing the
20 process.  I think this started when the 6.3.* versions came out.  I
21 would normally go back to a older version but those are no longer in the
22 tree. I'm wondering if a USE flag could make it work again.  I used euse
23 -i to see what each flag does but I'm not seeing anything that would
24 change it.  What I think the problem could be, LOo can't reach the
25 network anymore.  In the past when I pasted content, I could see
26 activity on the network.  I think LOo was fetching the pics and maybe
27 even some other info as well.  Thing is, I don't see why it can't now. 
28 Again, USE flag maybe???
