Description: So many crashes for so many random things Steps to Reproduce: I’d love to provide a set of steps to create a crash, but they are so frequent and so random. E.g. • Just now I was scrolling across a spreadsheet, the beach ball started and I had to force quit. • Yesterday I was creating a formula containing multiple VLOOKUPs and I was so suspicious about it crashing that I copied and pasted the formula into a text editor so I wouldn’t lose it. Sure enough, LibreOffice crashed. • I’d say editing of cells is the mostly like cause of a crash. • I can repeat the same action again and not get a crash. Actual Results: Spinning beach ball, have to force quit Expected Results: It would just work as expected. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: • I reckon there are two crashes an hour on average. • I have been perserving with LibreOffice for 3 years nwo and it's always been massively buggy. • Writer crashes too, almost as frequently and again very randomly.
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.
Yes, still crashing way too often. Latest example: I have two spreadsheets open. I have just deleted some rows in one, then I try to get to the other window. Spinning ball. This particular example potentially has a reproducable step: use Cmd-~ to cycle through windows (i.e. the standard macOS shortcut). At some point, not necessarily the first time, the window that is supposed to get focus doesn’t look like it does, and Libre Office crashes.

There was another report about this. The issue is gone since LibreOffice 7.4.4 (current 7.4.5) Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/
The cycling of windows issue seems to be fixed (though I have just experienced another weird bug with multiple windows whereby a background window jumps to the foreground yet the original foreground window retains the focus). I’ll report back if the update to 7.4.5.1 has helped with the other random freezes.

I had also a lot of trouble with some LO version recently I am now on 7.5 and it's rock solid Did it improve with 7.4.5? If not, does it improve with 7.5? Version: 7.5.1.2 (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: fcbaee479e84c6cd81291587d2ee68cba099e129 CPU threads: 10; OS: Mac OS X 13.2.1; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Difficult to give a useful answer on this. I unexpectedly got access to MS Office so haven’t been using LibreOffice so much, but limited testing does suggest that the newer version is more stable.
Thanks, I'll then close this as WFM
