Description: Hard to describe what happened after I downloaded and installed the latest version (7.6.4), except to say that the software is no longer usable. I can’t select any text with the mouse. The screen fractures into chunks of text, making it uneditable. I uninstalled it and all associated files from my Mac (OS 10.15.7) and installed version 7.5.9, but the problem persists. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open a document 2.Type text 3.Try to select text Actual Results: Sometimes it catches up after a few seconds. Sometimes the screen freezes for a few seconds. Expected Results: Let me select text as usual Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: How can I revert to a version that works with Catalina?
7.6.4 and 7.5.9 are known to be buggy :-( It will be resolved with 7.6.5 For the time being. You can move backwards *https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/7.5.8.2/mac/x86_64/LibreOffice_7.5.8.2_MacOS_x86-64.dmg * https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/7.6.3.2/mac/x86_64/LibreOffice_7.6.3.2_MacOS_x86-64.dmg Or forwards with daily build of the upcoming 7.6.5 release: https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/libreoffice-7-6/MacOSX-x86_64@tb92-TDF/current/LibreOfficeDev_7.6.5.0.0_MacOS_x86-64.dmg

(In reply to Telesto from comment #1) > 7.6.4 and 7.5.9 are known to be buggy :-( It will be resolved with 7.6.5 If you would like to avoid reverting to an old version or running a daily build, a tester has found a workaround for LibreOffice 7.5.9 and 7.6.4 that hopefully works while waiting for LibreOffice 7.6.5 to be released in February 2024: switch to Skia/Metal rendering. To enable Skia/Metal rendering, do the following steps: 1. Open the Options dialog by selecting the LibreOffice > Preferences menu 2. Select LibreOffice > View in the left panel 3. In the right panel, check the "Use Skia for all rendering" and uncheck "Force Skia software rendering" checkboxes as shown in the following screen snapshot: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=191409 4. Press the "OK" button and restart if prompted
