Well, I can not reproduce this problem -- for me (on Mac OS X 10.6.8), the steps work perfectly fine in LibreOffice 4.0.0beta1. But this bug is very similar to bug 56937 - “EDITING: freeze when drag-and-drop from Calc input line to anywhere on OSX”. Now bug 56937, like some similar issues, happens if and only if you have installed some utility etc. which uses and activates the Mac OS X accessibility API. So this could be true for this (present) bug, too. We have some long-standing bugs in LibreOffice accessibility stuff which were inherited from OpenOffice and which become visible only when the Mac OS Accessibility API is used (see the comments in bug 55571 etc.) ... and it seems that your report is just about another one of these nasty issues. Therefore, to confirm this idea and to find out what exactly triggers the bug, please check and answer the following questions: 1) Do you have any accesibility features enabled? Apple’s accessibility features like “VoiceOver” or “Enable access for assistive devices”, which get enabled in “System Preferences > Universal Access” (in German: “Systemeinstellungen > Bedienungshilfen”), are known to trigger many crashes and freezes in LibreOffice. So please try to disable any accesibility features, then check if the problem is still reproducible. 2) Do you have installed any window management/user interface utilities/apps/control panels/extensions for Mac OS X like * AquaSnap * BetterSnapTool * BetterTouchTool * Breeze * Cinch * Divvy * DoublePane * Flexiglass * HyperDock * iSnap * Moom * RightZoom * ShiftIt * SizeUp * SizeWell * Spectacle * Stay * TileWindows * WindowTidy ... or something similar? And/or do you use any mouse cursor/pointer utility, i.e. some little application or control panel etc. which animates or replaces etc. the mouse curser/pointer, like * LazyMouse? And/or do you use any special software which could be related to accessibility stuff, e.g. a screen reader, screen magnifier, speech recognition software, a text-to-speech (dictation) application, or similar? All these and many similar utilities rely heavily on Mac OS accessibility features and therefore can cause LibreOffice to crash or freeze. So please check if you have installed any utility of this kind and try to disable it (or to add LibreOffice to the list of excluded applications for the utility, if there is such a thing). And please report the results here. Thank you very much! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
