Bug ID: 147223 Summary: LO freezes TEMPORARILY (but does NOT crash) when trying to "Save" or "Save As" to the desktop Product: LibreOffice Version: 4.2.1.1 release Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) OS: macOS (All) Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Writer Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: by...@up-and-running.net Description: Upon upgrading LibreOffice to version 7.3.0, I discovered that attempting to "Save" a new document (or "Save As" an existing one) to the desktop results in a program freeze. I realize that this is been reported before but I believe the previous reports assumed that the program was hanging, rather than freezing, and that this report may contain new information that may assist in diagnosing and/or or correcting the problem. I have found that attempting to "Save" a new document (or "Save as" an existing document) to the desktop generates the spinning beachball cursor and results in a TEMPORARY program freeze. On my system, this freeze lasts for approximately 2 minutes (on my system), after which the desktop folder contents are displayed and the document can be saved to the desktop directory. I have tried this on several previous versions of LibreOffice as well as the current one and found the behavior to be consistent. I believe that earlier users reporting this problem assumed that the program had hung due to the protracted length of time that the program freezes; in reality, it appears that the program does, indeed, access and display the desktop directory contents and allows the document in question to be saved but only after this protracted pause. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch LO 2. Create a new document (or initiate a "Save As" of an extant one). 3. Choose "Desktop" as the destination directory (sidebar, folder icon in Home folder or "Cmd-D" or "Cmd-Shift-D") Actual Results: Spinning beachball cursor appears after a few seconds; then program freezes for approximately 2 minutes (on my system). After this, the desktop folder in the Finder window is populated and the document may be saved. Expected Results: Upon choosing the Desktop folder as the "Save" or "Save As" destination, the Desktop directory should be immediately displayed and the document should be saved upon use choosing to do so.
