--- Comment #4 from Mike S <[email protected]> --- Patrick, That was the first thing that I tried. No joy... There are a number of people on Reddit experiencing the same problem (there are several threads about the issue). I have booted to safe mode, same problem. Completely delete all remnants of LO and reinstalled (25.2.0 Intel version, 24.8.5, and the 25.2.1 Beta version). All exhibit the same problem, you can launch preferences once and after that it hangs LO. I have used LO for years and have never seen anything like this. The only variables in my machine are Sequoia 15.3.1 and LO 25.2.0. No other software, no other changes. So unfortunately I have exported my important files to utilize google docs and sheets, so I have them handy. If I force quite LO and reboot then I can use LO. I am only going to do that to get files to a stable platform. As I indicated, I have used LO for years, but right now I am dead in the water, with a profoundly unstable LO platform. So I have to, for the time being anyway, switch to a stable platform. I really hate to do that, I like LO and have contributed money to the cause. But work product is in danger, so must protect that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
