Description Yvan Oberson 2013-12-17 16:06:49 UTC
Même avec la dernière version (4.1.3) le bug est récurent:
(Je viens de faire la mise à jour)

Au bout d'un certain temps, même après la manipulation que j'expliquerai plus bas, le programme finit toujours par se bloquer lorsque j'ouvre une fenêtre de type "sélection d'emplacement" pour, par exemple enregistrer le document ou alors lorsque je veux sélectionner une image à importer. 
Le blocage est simplement total, je sélectionne "enregistrer" lors du premier enregistrement du document ou "enregistrer sous" et la fenêtre s'ouvre et plus rien ne bouge: je suis obligé de forcer à quitter.

La seule parade que j'ai trouvée, c'est de supprimer les préférences (cf. screenshot) de Libreoffice et de relancer l'application. Ça marche même sans vider la corbeille. Ça ne change rien si je redémarre entre deux ou si je fais tourner Onyx. J'ai vraiment essayé toutes les techniques que je connaissais...

Comme je te l'expliquais plus haut, même après avoir jusqu'à maintenant effectué cette manipulation maintes fois et à travers de nombreuses versions successives de LibreOffice, le bug ne disparait pas. Enfin, il disparait un moment... puis revient toujours, tôt ou tard. Même parfois en ayant déjà enregistré un fichier avec succès, plus tard et sans avoir quitté le programme entre deux, le bug apparait, comme sorti de nulle part.

Par contre ça n'arrive jamais lorsque le fichier a déjà été enregistré une fois avec succès. Donc je galère surtout au premier enregistrement de nouveaux fichiers, lorsque je fais une modification et veut faire un nouveau fichier avec "enregistrer sous" et lors d'importations d'images – ce qui est moins problématique, mais j'y ai rencontré ce même problème.

you should also translate in english what was not working.
remember also to add which is your O/S (Linux? Win? Mac?)

I had this bug with every version since some time.

After a undefined amount of time, and even after the manipulation that I will explain later, LibreOffice freezes when I open a window to select a folder (window like "save as" or "import an image from folder"). This happens most of the time when I save a file for the first time.
When it freezes, I can't do anything and have to force to quit. 

To counter the bug, I can delete the prefs files from my computer and it will work again normally the next time I launch LibreOffice. (see screenshot)

Like I said before, I made this manipulation many times and with many versions of LibreOffice. It disappears some days and come again.
I tried uninstalling with and without restarting the computer, with and without running Onyx between the uninstall and the reinstall, between different versions and so on.

The bug doesn't appear when saving, when I already saved it once successfully. I really have this problem when saving a document for the first time.

Like I said, I also encountered the bug when trying importing an image.


I hope my translation is good enough. :)

Thank you.

I'm pretty sure, that the bug only appears after I clicked the button to expand the window.
I marked the button in red in a screenshot I posted.
