Bug #: 52224 Summary: Help --> About does not show expected dialog box and it blocks further use of the application Classification: Unclassified Product: LibreOffice Version: 3.5.5.3 release Platform: x86-64 (AMD64) OS/Version: Linux (All) Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: medium Component: UI AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: naipaul_o...@hotmail.com The issue has been reproduced in both Writer and Spreadsheet. I have confirmed that the other Help --> options that do generate additional dialog boxes do work. The issue was first found with Writer. I have tested that I can create new tables in Writer, which does generate a new dialog box. I am copying the contents of a question raised earlier:- http://ask.libreoffice.org/question/3953/libreoffice-355-writer-help-about-hangs-the-main/ I have just updated LO to 3.5.5 and I was testing the Writer app. I wanted to verify the version, so I went Help-> About and I did not see the expected dialog box showing the application information. Results:- The main write application is then hung and not responding any mouse actions. I guess that it opended modal dialog box, that is expecting to be closed prior to the Writer continuing. I have checked for another window but it does not appear. I have to kill all LO processes before I can use Writer. ======== a. I am using Fedora 16 b. I have just downloaded and expanded the archive and then updated my existing installation using yum:- cd RPMS yum update * cd desktop-integration yum update * Upgrade 54 Packages 54 Packages were updated in the main RPMS directory 1 package was updated in the desktop-integration directory:- Updated: libreoffice3.5-freedesktop-menus.noarch :3.5.5-3 I am not sure what do now ... Additional information:- I have tested the Help --> YYY, where YYY = "License Information", "Credits", "License Information" and "What's This ?" and I see their pop-up windows, but not for the "About" I have also tested the "Help --> About" in the Spreadsheet and I get the same issue -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
