Description jnewman295 2016-02-17 12:25:07 UTC 
Have just upgraded to LibreOffice 5 form version 4 and unable to run existing  macros or record new ones.
Comment 1 m_a_riosv 2016-02-18 02:10:01 UTC 
About record macros, you need to activate experimental features.
Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice/Advanced - Enable experimental features.

About run the macros, you need to set up properly the option

Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice/Security - Macros security.

I think there is not a bug, but if this doesn't solve your issues, please reopen it.

A little mistake from my side, just one line down
Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice/Advanced - Enable macro recording (limited)

I have tested and I can record and reproduce a macro, with macro security level 'Medium'.

(Please answer in bugzilla not but mail)

I don't update can make a difference.

Please try resetting the user profile, sometimes solves strange issues.

Usually it's enough renaming/deleting the file "user/registrymodifications.xcu",  it affects all the options in Menu/Tools/Options, and the files "user/basic/dialog.xlc" and "scrip.xlc" are overwritten, additionally custom colors in "user/config/standard.soc" are lost.
