Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: BUG REPORT -- Version 4.0+ (Macbook Lion)
Hi :) The version numbers make it clear that the op was referring to LibreOffice rather than OpenOffice! The problem probably does exist on both and even if not it would be nice to have a wiki-page, perhaps in the Faqs, to point people to. The problem is so few people use LibreOffice on any Apple machine that we hardly ever hear about these things so we would forget where the page is. So, it probably is best to remember to google for it.

In either case, the configuration files for the version of OS X mentioned are difficult to find. Apple has deliberately made these hidden files. There are extra steps required to be able to see them. --Dan From: Alexander Thurgood alex.thurg...@gmail.com To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Friday, 3 May 2013, 7:25 Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: BUG REPORT -- Version 4.0+ (Macbook Lion) Le 03/05/13 07:05, auto78240...@hushmail.com a écrit : Hi Randal, I have the latest 4.0+ version of Open Office, and see an unwanted popup when initializing the program.
