Description DELETE THIS ACCOUNT IT IS ONE-TIME AND NOT NEEDED 2019-04-03 08:33:56 UTC 
Description:
Sometimes after changing LO settings it fails to start. Allow a user to change the settings in this case without finding the config files manually.

Steps to Reproduce:
Make changes into the settings preventing LO from being started.

Actual Results:
An unskilled user cannot change the settings without starting LO and cannot start LO without changing settings.

Expected Results:
A dialogue appears saying that user has messed with the settings and allowing it either to change them manually or rollback to backup. Backup is a tar.xz archive.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

I do not understand how LibreOffice can do something with user config if it does not start.

Best regards. JBF

We have the safe-mode for that. use --safe-mode while calling LibreOffice.
Closing as RESOLVED WONTFIX
