Description skybirds15b 2024-05-01 20:50:43 UTC
Description:
Whenever I try to open/create a document, LibreOffice freezes and stops responding. I have tried safe mode, disabling hardware acceleration, and turning off my vpn to no change. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open LibreOffice
2.Attempt to open a document
3.Freeze

Actual Results:
LibreOffice freezes. Once, the freeze resolved after several minutes, but otherwise it's permanent and I was unable to reproduce the resolution, as opposed to the freeze, which happens every time. 

Expected Results:
Document opens, editing begins. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Version: 24.2.2.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

Thank you for the report.

Can you please:
- test version 24.2.3 to see if it is still reproducible
- if the issue persists, backup and remove your user profile: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Manual_procedure_(all_versions)
Comment 2 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2024-05-22 02:49:15 UTC
Also: does it happen with all components? Writer, Calc, Draw, Impress...?
Comment 3 skybirds15b 2024-05-22 03:32:20 UTC
Tested the new version, still reproducible. It does happen with all components except the database. I tried safe mode and removing my user profile, but the same issue persisted.

Your OS is somewhat outdated. Could you update to 12.7.5 and see if that makes a difference.

When the freeze happens and you wait for a few minutes, does LibreOffice return to usable state or are you stuck on the freeze even after lets say 5 minutes?

If the problem persists, please create the following debug information:

Spindump:

* open Activity Monitor
* search for Process Name LibreOffice
* click cogwheel icon and select Spindump
* Save Spindump output
* attach the resulting file to this report here

Process Sample:

* open Activity Monitor
* search for Process Name LibreOffice
* click cogwheel icon and select Sample Process
* Save Process Sample output
* attach the resulting file to this report

Updating my OS seems to have fixed it. It's weird that I didn't update either the OS or Libre and yet this issue started.
