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.
Reproducible: Always
