Screenshot showing this

Every time you open a Calc file protected with password a new "Enter password" entry is added to the Dock contextual menu. These go away if you close LO completely (cmd+q).

Also, clicking on one of those entries will pop up the password request window. This has the password field filled with asterisks which is kind a liability since it shows the password length. Besides LO freezes this way.

Please have a look at the screenshot attached.

Thanks

Lorenzo

Confirming also on

there is no freeze, LO remains responsive, only the password window can not be closed - it appears to be detached from the thread controlling the Calc document when it is re-opened via the Dock.
Comment 3 Alex Thurgood 2015-09-10 09:22:18 UTC 
How to reproduce :

1) Open a new Calc file.

2) Enter some random strings into any cells

3) Save the Calc file, and tick the option box "with password"

4) Enter password to encrypt the file.

5) Close file and close LO

6) Now re-open file, the password is requested before the file will load

7) Enter correct password, file opens

8) Note how a new entry appears in the Dock menu list of opened files, with the name of the Calc file without an icon - clicking on this displays the password entry dialog, which is then frozen.

Does not occur in

==>> regression
Comment 5 Alex Thurgood 2015-09-10 09:36:12 UTC 
Hmm, something weird happens here, so removing bibisectrequest and regression tag until I can test further.

After failing to reproduce the buggy behaviour with 4142, I tried narrowing the range down, but was unable to reproduce the same problem with any further more recent version, including 5.0.0.5, and even Dev master 5.1 build. It could be a user profile problem that only appears on first time opening with any version, but that requires further testing.

Step 8 in comment 3 no longer brings up the password dialog, so this works for me
