Description bert.g 2019-04-03 06:24:55 UTC

Often the next file to be opened fails. After closing the alreday open files the recovery dialog shows up. After clicking recovery, all files open up including the new one.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. files stored on NAS
2. links to files exist on desktop
3. open file1 with double-click on desktop link
4. open file2 with double-click on desktop link

Actual Results:
--> pretty often the file2 does not open, nothing happens
--> close file1 --> open office recovery dialog pops up --> click "yes recover" --> both file1 and file2 open up

Expected Results:
just open the clicked file directly


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No

Thank you for reporting the bug.

To be certain the reported issue is not
related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your
Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and
re-test?

Can you provide more information about your windows version and 
file protocol you use (smb?) ?

Which LibreOffice version do you use?
Please copy information from Menu "Help/About LibreOffice"

Do you use LibreOffice Quickstarter?
-> Menu "Tools/Options.../LibreOffice/General"
if not, please activate

I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present

I resetted the user profile --> the error persists
Comment 3 bert.g 2019-04-05 13:03:56 UTC
I tried using the quick starter --> the error persists and changes a little:
now randomly I cannot open a file anymore. it looks like the same error as before but related to quick starter. If I then close quick starter the before clicked files open but without the recover dialog.

Win10

Comment 6 Oliver Brinzing 2019-04-05 14:07:38 UTC
i cannot confirm this behaviour with LO 6.1.5.2 (Quickstarter enabled) 
and Win10x64:

stored 2 *.ods files on my nas (connected via smb1) and added 2 links on windows desktop:

\\my-nas\USB_NAS\tmp\file1.ods
\\my-nas\USB_NAS\tmp\file2.ods

double clicking, both files will open, .lock files are created on nas too,
closing without crash.

can you find an event in windows event log?
Comment 7 bert.g 2019-04-09 06:17:34 UTC
Hi, yes, lock files are created on NAS but I also had this effect with lokally stored files. I'm sorry to not find a case to reproduce it on purpose, it seems to be related to nothing.

One thing I realised:
When I work in "safte mode" I get a green status bar on the bottom when I use a file with external references and click on refresh. I NEVER get this bar when not in safe mode. I resettet the user profile several times...maybe this is a hint.

As I said, when the quickstarter is active and the "file does not open" problem occures, the whole programm doe not respond with any dialog anymore until I shutdown the quick starter, then all before clicked files open up...

I'll try a complete de-install, is there a cleab-up tool for all left-over files and registry entries?

in general it should work if you uninstall LO.
i recommend to check whether "C:\Program Files\LibreOffice" folder has been deleted and i would rename (or delete) user profile in %appdata%\LibreOffice.

reg key can beo found in: "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LibreOffice"
Comment 9 bert.g 2019-04-10 10:11:57 UTC
Even after complete uninstall and re-install the error persists on all  machines I'm using...

Sorry, as I have to work with the apps I now moved to Microsoft Office 365.

Might be a long shot, but you could try unticking the checkbox:
Tools - Options - LibreOffice - View: Use OpenGL for all rendering

Let us know how it goes.
