Replicate 0. Start on XFCE Workspace #2 1. Start LibreOffice Calc 2. Open a spreadsheet 3. Switch to XFCE Workspace #1 4. Start Thunderbird mail reader 5. Open a mail message containing a .docx attachment 6. Click the attachment 7. When prompted, open the attachment with LibreOffice Expected The attachment opens in LibreOffice Writer. Actual The splash screen appears, disappears, then repeats. Switching XFCE Workspaces does not interrupt the cyclical and indefinite splash screen flashing. Workaround Close the spreadsheet opened from step #2. At this point, LibreOffice may prompt the user to recover a saved file. This is weird because the save should have been successful. Continue by recovering. At this point, both LibreOffice Calc and Writer re-open the spreadsheet and docx file, which was the behaviour one would have expected from the start.
