I admit that I am very confused here. I have gotten this sort of thing since I first started using OO - I can't recall now which version of OS X that was - about three years ago. But OO does sometimes quit on the first attempt and always has in my experience. I have usually associated it with trying to open it first thing after I boot-up. OO is one of the first things I open up after I bring my machine up in the morning. Resources are tied up and perhaps the app gives up the ghost too quickly.
I just try again and it opens. Though modestly annoying, it is by no means a true problem. OO is quite functional.... even in macOS Sierra. ________________________________ From: Ariel Constenla-Haile <arie...@apache.org> Sent: Friday, October 7, 2016 10:01 AM To: Mike Claridge; users@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: Open Office "Quits Unexpectedly" in Sierra On Fri, Oct 07, 2016 at 02:53:25PM +0100, Mike Claridge wrote: > Thanks for your help.

This is already reported on https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127143 Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it, and there is no solution nor workaround other than trying to start OpenOffice inside Terminal.app with a particular module so that you avoid the Start Center, for example, to open the word processor: /Applications/OpenOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/swriter This might not help at all, other users reported further crashes or painting glitches.
