Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 8542
SOffice component locks up
Last modified: 2003-03-11 17:59:45 UTC
I have to end-task the the soffice component in order shutdown computers in my office. When shutting down everything looks normal, the screen dims but a few seconds later everything comes back like I never did the shutdown. I had to experiment to find the cause, because soffice doesn't show [not responding] in the close program dialog when this is a problem. After end-tasking soffice the shutdown can be attempted again and it works smoothly. Also, Simply Accounting v9.0b doesn't always run as it is supposed to when soffice component is present. It will load and ask for the file and then password but then dissappear. Only after I end-task the soffice component will Simply load the file and appear on the screen. These problems only surface after sometime has passed since the last boot.. at least a couple of hours if not more. But it is happening at least once a day to someone in my office. Thanx in Advance, Terry Fehr
Terry, thank you for using and supporting OOo. Try disabling the OOo QuickStarter SysTray application to see if it resolves your problem.
Disabling quickstarter does resolve the problem, however, loading the open office applications becomes so much slower that I'm reluctant to do it on my user's machines. They are always complaining about speed as it is. Thanx again, Terry Fehr
Talked to a colleague, and issue 6846 is where we are grouping QuickStarter issues. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 6846 ***
