Description Yannick Chiron 2014-11-04 00:34:09 UTC 
After installation on Macbook Pro with retina display (by replacing previous version of LibreOffice), I noticed a blurry text once I opened LibreOffice 4.3.2.2.  It looked kinda ugly.

Search on internet showed that there is a problem in Info.plist, and that it can be solved by modifying it, as explained on this webpage: http://imgur.com/a/0P5KY. It explains for Microsoft Office, but the same procedure works for LibreOffice as well.

It seems that changing Info.plist in LibreOffice code will prevent this bug to reoccur.

Specifically, at the end of Info.plist, the following code must have True instead of False.

<key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key>
    <string>False</string>

Changing it manually, and restarting computer and then LibreOffice was not enough, as  OSX didn't rebuild its Info.plist cache like this.  LibreOffice needed to be copied to desktop, then move to the trash the installed version, and move to the Applications folder the copied version. Upon relaunch, OS X then rebuilds its cache and takes the Info.plist change into account.

Forgot to say that my computer is a late 2013 MacBook Pro with retina display, with a 2,3 GHz processor intel core i7, 16 GB RAM, running Mac OS X 10.9.5.

Please download a 64-bit build.

Thanks but that is the 64-bit build that I installed (LibreOffice_4.3.3_MacOS_x86-64.dmg), automatically proposed by libreoffice website for my computer.

So it seems that there is a problem with the 64-bit version of LibreOffice 4.3.2.2 itself.

Sorry I meant 4.3.3.2 and not 4.3.2.2.  So it is the most current version which has the problem. 4.3.2.2 was ok.

LibreOffice 4.3.4 (released Nov 14, 2014) fixed the problem in the Info.plist file.

Changed status to fixed.
