------- Additional comments from [email protected] Thu Oct 14 11:53:02 +0000 2010 ------- This regularily happens to me. I have posted it in the forum as "OOo hangs with multiple soffice.exe in Task Manager" (see http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=34922#p160112 ) I have a gut feeling, for which I have no conclusive evidence, that it happens when I have shut down the last instance of OO, and I then immediately start a new instance of OO before the previous instance has completed its shutdown. The sequence is: If I am using OO Writer, and I close all instances of OO, and I then quickly restart OO again, OO often hangs. (You know the sequence - you are editing something - you close it - and at that precise moment you remember you forgot something - so you immediately restart it.) When OO hangs, I start Task Manager and I always see multiple (sometimes 5 or 6) copies of soffice.exe and / or (s?)office.bin. The only way to get out of the hang is to use Task Manager to End Process with all these processes. I always use right click on one process > choose End Process Tree, and sometimes several of them disappear when I end just one as though they were part of a called tree. Once they are all gone OO is fine again. Other factors which may be relevant are that I often seem to be opening an odt or doc or docx file still attached to an email (I use Thunderbird for emails) when it happens. I open such attachments by double left clicking on the attachment icon. When I have closed all instances of OO, I invariable restart OO by clicking on the QuickLaunch icon in the Windows System Tray (the Quicklaunch icon runs soffice.exe). It only needs 1 click, but I usually forget and double click the Quicklaunch icon by mistake. The multiple instances in Task Manager may be because I double click on the Quicklaunch icon 2 or 3 times when OO doesn't start up. When I do a standalone test (no OO instances running > double click quickly on the Quicklaunch icon), just one instance of OO starts OK. I think it started within the past 6 or 8 months. I always keep OO up to date. OO 3.2.1 Build 9502, Windows 7 Home 64 bit, Intel dual 2.3GHz core, 4GB, Thunderbird --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
