After installing 4.4.0.3 on WIN 8.1 64bit LibO is starting at the first time. I can work with it and open a document etc. But after closing LibO I can't start it anymore. Even after restarting the whole OS it doesn't work. Repairing won't help. There is no problem with 4.3.5 which I reinstalled afterwards.
After writing to de-discuss someone gave me a hint: Deleting the user directory and repairing the installation will help. Now it seems to work. But I think it is a bug which will hit many users with 4.3 or earlier.
The solution won't help for a long time. After opening a file from Explorer Libo went on shortly and vanished. I give up and install 4.3.5 again. This works fine here. (By the way no problem with a WIN10 VM and 4.4.0.3)
I didn't see any such problems on Win 7 or 8.1 yet.
I can confirm the described behavior on Windows Vista 32-bit. The application window appears but has no content (isn't painted at all). LO 4.4.0.3
I made some additional tests a found the cause of this problem. It appears only if "Use OpenGL for all rendering" is enabled. Used system configuration: - Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32bit - GPU NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS - NVIDIA graphics driver 340.52 - default driver settings
The same as above applies for: - Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64bit - GPU NVIDIA GeForce 210 - NVIDIA graphics driver 311.06 - default driver settings
Ok, I can reproduce now here: WIN 8.1, 64bit GEFORCE GT 650M, NVIDIA graphics driver 327.02: the problem exists when the "Force OpenGL even if blacklisted" is enabled. @Beluga: Why are you changing the title again? 1 It is reproduceable. 2 It is my bug. So when I change the title back, I can expect, that you ask me or even you give a comment here why you think that changing the title in your way is right.
Sorry to all, I should have searched for a duplicate. Note from Markus Mohrhard in the comments of bug 87673: "Don't use that setting right now. We have horrible issues with memory corruption and race conditions." *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 87673 ***
