Description István 2020-03-10 11:20:48 UTC
Description:
When opening a file by acciedental doubleclick in a single-click context under Windows the two (or more) instances are in a race condition for opening the given file, which can only be sorted out by manually terminating one (or more) of the launched instances.
The downside for inexperienced users is that they do not see any activity and may launch furter instances thus making the mentioned race condition even worse. It is not intuitive for mentioned inexperienced users to manually terminate tasks.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open any given file multiple times rapidly (e.g. doubleclick in single-click context)
2. wait
3. terminate launched task(s) manually

Actual Results:
no visual confirmation of LO launching and opening the file(s) until manually terminating some of the rapid-launched instances

Expected Results:
race condition solved by prioritising launched instances


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Can you please try with a recent LO version, e.g. LO 6.3.5/LO 6.4.1?

Did you enable the LO Quickstarter?
