Description fabien.michel 2012-09-06 12:50:03 UTC
Step to reproduce :
1. Clear your preferences in order to make a fresh LibO install.
2. Open LibO 3.6.1 release (Version 3.6.1.2 (Build ID: e29a214) )
3. Wait for it to finish launch.
4. Go to another application by clicking an icon in the dock
5. Try to return to LibO by clicking LibO icon in dock

LibO window should be showed at foreground.
Try to right click on this icon and "Force to quit" is shown insted of "Quit" (habitually, this mean that the system as detected that the process do not respond...)

We can ever switch to LibO by using Alt+Tab or clicking directly in the window.

After quit and relaunch LibO, it have a normal behavior.

Thank you very much for your bug report!

REPRODUCIBLE with LibreOffice 3.6.1.2 (Build ID: e29a214), German langpack installed, on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Intel).

→ Therefore adapted Summary field (removed version number). Also adapted Importance field: no offence, we just want to begin with sorting bugs by importance, and this is really a very minor issue, even if I agree that it can be rather irritating.

Well, I realize the reason for marking it as not so important from a programming point of view, but I must say this bug may have lost us a few users. I almost joined them. 

I downloaded LO, started it up, and instead of seeing a splash screen I see nothing. When I go to the icon in the dock it behaves as if the program is frozen and I was about to "force quit" it, before playing a bit more with it.

I suggest that most casual "Let's try this free thing" users will dismiss LO as unusable right away, because of this bug.
Comment 4 Julien Nabet 2013-11-11 22:15:48 UTC
Just by curiosity, is it better with LO 4.1.3?
Comment 5 Emir Sarı 2013-11-13 09:11:28 UTC
Nope. And annoying as hell still.

3. Leave a comment with your results. 
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo";
