Description Shad Sterling 2012-12-07 16:12:54 UTC
After a crash (or a forcequit) with files open, restarting LibreOffice brings up first the document recovery window, then the Start Center opens in front of it, hiding the fact that LibreOffice has noticed a need to recover files.
It may be best to integrate document recovery into the Start Center.

This is an enhancement request, so changing importance status to "enhancement".

Sorry - I reread the sentence of yours and saw that you wrote: "LibreOffice brings up first the document recovery window, then the Start Center opens in front of it" - as far as I remember LO always brings up the recovery window, and start center keeps on the background. 

I'll try to crash LO and then see how it happens. :)

Thanks for reporting!

I can reproduce this behavior using Mac OSX 10.8.4 with LibreOffice 4.0.4.2. I had a crash recently and can confirm this. First recovery window opens, a second after that the Start Center opens in front of it (hiding the recovery window).

Kind regards,
Joren

I did not experienced this problem with the crashes I recently had with LibreOffice 4.4.x under Linux. Is it still there under MacOS ?

Best regards. JBF

No change in 4.4.2.2 on Mac OS X 10.10.3.

In 4.4.3.2, after a forcequit the Start Center does not appear, so document recovery is not hidden; I haven't yet seen a crash of 4.4.3.2.
Comment 7 Shad Sterling 2015-05-21 18:23:24 UTC
With 4.4.3.2, recovering from OS X 10.10.3 crashing, the Start Center does still appear and hide document recovery.
Comment 8 Shad Sterling 2015-07-10 21:43:40 UTC
It looks like when the app launches it only brings up the recovery window, but when it is brought to the foreground it opens the Start Center.  So when I forcequit and relaunch is starts in the foreground and, since it wasn't brought to the foreground, the Start Center doesn't appear.  When the OS crashes and upon reboot relaunches all open apps and LibreOffice does not start in the foreground, then when it is brought to the foreground I see the recovery window just for a moment before the Start Center appears in front.

Seems to work correctly now

Tested both only opening LO, and opening a file

Comment 14 Shad Sterling 2020-05-10 03:26:52 UTC
With 6.2.5, recovering from a forcequit doesn't open the startcenter, same as the start-in-foreground case in comment 8; I'm not going to crash my system to test the start-in-background case right now, I might be able to to try that tomorrow or next weekend.
