OS X 10.9.2. Since upgrading from 4.0.something to 4.2.4, it seems I can seldom go as long as 7 minutes without LibreOffice Writer hanging (my record is perhaps 20 minutes). It is always the case that Force Quit does not recognize LibreOffice as nonresponsive, but it is unresponsive to all keystrokes, all cursor movements, all trackball gestures, and remains unresponsive for several minutes. I've waited past the autobackup time, and when I go back in, sure enough, it didn't autosave or autobackup. The list of last things I was doing when it hung is widely varied: typing; saving (previously saved document or first time saving), changing font or font size, hitting ctrl-z, choosing an auto-correct on a misspelled word, selecting an outline format, removing italics... I'm tempted to try to get into the habit of following every keystroke with Command-s, except that this keystroke has also been the last thing I did when it hung. With this varied list, I don't know what further documentation might help. I don't see anything I can do in Writer that I feel is safe from hanging. I was so glad when I was told about LibreOffice, so eager to get Microsoft even further out of my life, but now, I'm either going to go back to a previous version, or just give it up altogether. Operating System: Mac OS X Version: 4.2.4.2 release
never had that issue with the same LibO version. I suspect corruption of user profile try resetting the user profile and see if it solves your issue: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile I set status to NEEDINFO waiting for feedback.

I replaced the user profile with a new one, renaming the old one. I haven't had a lot of trouble with hanging since, but I've become skittish enough about Libre Office that I haven't systematically tested with the new user profile, nor have I tried replacing files one-by-one to see where the problems lie.
ncie to hear that now it's working so the issue was due to corrupted user profile. correct status is WORKSFORME FIXED is used when a developer submits a patch to fix the code
