Sometimes when downloading a document, and choosing to open with LO, the error message "An API call exited abnormally." appears and no document is opened. This is seen in Internet explorer on Windows 10, maybe could be seen also on other Windows versions. However, this happens only on certain systems, could not always reproduce.

Could not repro on Win 10 & IE 11. If it is not seen with Edge, maybe it should be ignored. IE is going the way of the dodo. Version: 6.0.3.2 (x64) Build ID: 8f48d515416608e3a835360314dac7e47fd0b821 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI); Calc: group
Found out that this only happens when ActiveX is enabled (which is disabled in the default installation). Thought I still have to investigate under which circumstances this happens as only enabling ActiveX seems to be not enough.

Can you tell, which settings I have to tweak in IE 11 security - custom levels?
Hello Samuel Mehrbrodt, Do you still reproduce this problem in master ?
Lets close this as noone seems to be able to reproduce it. In our case the workaround was to disable the activex problem which is enough for us.
