Description shifu1412 2019-05-14 02:43:02 UTC
Description:
If I check for updates on the Portable Apps version of LibreOffice, the box that pops up is blank and never finishes loading. Attempting to close that "Check for Updates" box results in the text area not responding to new text inputs, and the menus all showing up as blank. Attempting to close LibreOffice at this point shows a box that's blank, and you must clink an invisible menu button in order to close the program.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click "Check for Updates..." in the Help menu
2.A blank box will appear.
3.You are now stuck and must now close the program.

Actual Results:
The screen is frozen, and all the important options in the menus are invisible now, as well as not being able to see what is being typed.

Expected Results:
The program should check for updates, and not freeze the screen.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
This is the Portable Apps version of LibreOffice.

Thank you for reporting the bug.
it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.

Thank you very much for the response! I tested out the newest version of LibreOffice provided on a Windows 8.1 desktop, and saw that it no longer had any of the freezing problems associated with the Portable Apps version. The problem is fixed for now, but I'm just hoping that the newest version of LibreOffice will make it on to the Portable Apps platform as well. Once more, thank you for the assistance!
