    • x86_64
    • windows_10

      ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
      Window 10, Java 10 and onwards

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Performance degredation of getBounds() method of java.awt.font.TextLayout
      We are observing performance degradation by many fold when using HarfBuz as a font engine when data is large.
      In our specific use case we are using poi library that using making use of TextLayout to get the width of every column. We are wiriting 20000 rows to spreadsheet :
      With ICU as font engine : 2.3 to 3 seconnds
      With HarfBuzz as font engine : 50 to 80 seconnds

      REGRESSION : Last worked in version 8u212

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      call getBounds() method of TextLayout for large data set i.e. for large number of TextLayouts.


      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      Total time consumed in java 8 and java 10 & above should be nearly same.
      Expected Time consumed arround 1.5 seconds
      ACTUAL -
      Total time consumed in java 10 & above is much much high than time consumed in java 8.
      Actual Time consumed more than 40 seconds

              bounds = layout.getBounds();

              // frameWidth accounts for leading spaces which is excluded from bounds.getWidth()
              final double frameWidth = bounds.getX() + bounds.getWidth();
              return frameWidth;
          }

      }

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      No workarround in java 10

      FREQUENCY : always
