Description Sascha Krämer 2025-02-16 14:24:21 UTC 
Description:
If you open the LibreOffice settings in version 25.2 on an Apple Silicon Mac, the program freezes. It can only be closed by terminating the program-task via the activity monitor. Furthermore, the menubar on macOS becomes unresponsive.

This does not constantly happen, but very frequently.

Occasionally, you can click on the various items on the left side of the settings-screen without the right side of the screen getting updated.

The problem occurred no matter if I had installed LibreOffice via Homebrew or by downloading and installing the dmg-file.



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the settings (does not matter if via CMD+Comma or via the menubar etc.)
2. Click on several entries / options on the right side
3. Click on several entries / options on the left side
4. Try to apply settings / options
5. Screen sometimes leads to crashes, sometimes works just fine

Actual Results:
Program freezes. Can only be terminated via activity-monitor.

Expected Results:
Change settings and allow me to save them.


Reproducible: Always

It seems as if the problem has (also) something to do with changing the appearance of LibreOffice.

I have reset my user profile just now and LibreOffice used the dark appearance (my system's default).

When switching to the light appearance, the app does not update and when closing and restarting LibreOffice, the settings are problematic and are causing freezes.

When I write no repro, I mean with respect to unfolding entries in the user preferences panel.

I haven't tried changing themes.
