The combination isn't bad at all...

I have it from time to time on a MBP, not on my iMac. How to avoid it: closing LibO before shutting down your computer. It will still occur when LiboO hangs and you have to Force Quit. Remedy: use Terminal to throw away the savedState file that seems to cause the problem of the obstinate restore/don't restore window. Open Terminal (in your Applications/Programs folder > Auxiliaries or Help Programs) after the prompt ($) type: rm -fr ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/org.libreoffice.script.savedState/ followed by a return and the problem should be solved... You can find the Terminal command solution in bug report 39007. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39007 It was discussed on this list a few months ago, but the bug still isn't solved in 3.4.4, probably causing quite a few Mac-users to abandon LibO! -- Guy using LibO 3.4.4 on an iMac Intel DualCore Lion -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
