Start LibreOffice and go to Tools > Options > Paths. Select "AutoText", then click on button "Edit...". In the dialog "Edit Paths: AutoText" click on button "Add...". You get a dialog "Select Path". You will already notice a delay in this step. Click on a drive or click on the ">" to open the list of that drive. LibreOffice hangs. I see the error in Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 7f43f0b50135e147fb2bb1f942da3bf60153fd2c CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2018-09-06_01:41:39 Locale: de-DE (en_US); Calc: CL It was OK in Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 414ef6cb187dd3bbcc917dbedf3c0c1cc8668f60 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2018-08-21_00:13:04 Locale: de-DE (en_US); Calc: CL
When you say it hangs, it means you have to kill LibreOffice afterwards? Can't reproduce it in Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: a1dd8098e6e2a7d5ba4b9c1a2d094db11d3d6b27 CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 6.3; UI render: default; Locale: en-GB (en_GB); Calc: threaded
Created attachment 144718 [details] Screenshot, Windows 10 It shows a spinner and Windows shows "Keine Rückmeldung" in the title bar of the dialog. Sometimes the dialog collapses and restarts immediately. Clicking Cancel in the dialog window and its parent window several times finally allows to go back and close LibreOffice.
It's the same as bug 116615. The patch was never complete, just a band-aid, which seems to be broken now :-( I can reproduce with: Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build-ID: e69432df6f769eec8463f3a900540d85181f126c CPU-Threads: 10; BS: Windows 6.1; UI-Render: Standard; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: threaded which is master + patches for bug 119302.
