This font delay problem in libreoffice-writer 7.3/7.4 seems to be a combination of libreoffice-gtk3 and Nvidia proprietary driver. The problem appears with default desktop enviroment and with gnome classic. Problem appears in wayland and xorg.
Nvidia driver - Installed AND libreofffice-gtk3 Installed
No Font Menu delay when:
Nvidia driver Installed AND libreofffice-gtk3 Not Installed
Nvidia driver Not Installed AND libreofffice-gtk3 Installed
Nvidia driver Not Installed AND libreofffice-gtk3 Not Installed
I can confirm David White. No problem in Mint 21.
BUT
As soon as i install gnome and log into a gnome session with Mint 21, then the extreme font delay will appear in libre office. When i log back into a mate session then the font menu behaves as it should.
