            Bug ID: 147152
           Summary: Recent document pointers to a network (sftp) storage
                    currently not available hang LibreOffice on startup
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: filters and storage
          Assignee: [email protected]

# Test case:

1. Mount eg gvfs sftp file share and open a document from there.
2. Close LO, unmount the share
3. Start LO

# Observed behavior:

LibreOffice hangs indefinitely.

# Excepted behavior:

Do not try to access all files in recent documents on startup, and even later
if accessing on user's request do a timeout with error message.

# Workaround 1:

Before every LO startup, one can run:

> sed -i '/sftp/d' ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/registrymodifications.xcu

Which for example in this case removes lines like:

> <item 
> oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Histories/Histories/org.openoffice.Office.Histories:HistoryInfo['PickList']/OrderList"><node
>  oor:name="8" oor:op="replace"><prop oor:name="HistoryItemRef" 
> oor:op="fuse"><value>sftp://olo/home/timo/Asiakirjat/kauppalaskut.ods</value></prop></node></item>

# Workaround 2:

Follow
https://www.libreofficehelp.com/how-to-delete-recent-documents-list-in-libreoffice/
and set the value to 0 to disable recent documents.

# History:

This is only a gut feeling / vague memories but this may heve gotten worse
somewhere in LO 7.x - it used to be it timed out, now it seems like a complete
hang.

I'm happy to help debugging if anyone tells me what/how to debug/run (I can
follow technical debugging instructions) - the wiki instructions seem just a
bit broad and I wouldn't know what exactly to provide.
