Description Hezerune 2023-12-02 14:07:16 UTC
Description:
When I am working on a document (example of document attached), sometimes (and for reasons I do not understand), it becomes impossible to click on anything, either on the UI or on the document itself. I can still write something with my keyboard where my cursor was before the bug, but I cannot select another place or click on a button anymore. Pointer is still displayed but clicking is useless.

The only way to get control back is to either switch to another app and come back on the LO document, or open and close Mission Control.

Steps to Reproduce:
Happens randomly, mostly when working on tables in Writer, and after saving the document.

Actual Results:
Impossible to click anywhere but the software is not frozen.

Expected Results:
Performing normally?


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
Version: 7.6.3.2 (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 29d686fea9f6705b262d369fede658f824154cc0
CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 14.1.2; UI render: default; VCL: osx
Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR
Calc: threaded

This started happening after the macOS Sonoma update. Rolling back to a previous version doesn't seem to fix the bug. Deactivating Skia didn't change anything, and Safe Mode is also useless. Full clean install of both LO and MacOS didn't change anything.

Problem appears on both MacBook Air M1 and Mac mini M1, both updated to the latest 14.1.2 version.

Hi there, thank you for reporting the bug.

With the problem document, I tried editing the tables, creating new tables, saving constantly for about 10 minutes, but I encountered nothing like you've shown in the video.

The versions I used were:

Version: 24.2.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: db4def46b0453cc22e2d0305797cf981b68ef5ac

Locale: ko-KR (en_US); UI: en-US

Hi Hezerune,

Thank you for reporting the bug, I'm unable to reproduce the bug despite attempting the steps you've provided. I clicked tables, added/deleted/updated text, added a new table, and saved the file. When I opened the saved file, I was still able to click anywhere on the file. 

Here are the two builds I used:

Stable Build
Version: 24.2.1.2 (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: db4def46b0453cc22e2d0305797cf981b68ef5ac
CPU threads: 10; OS: macOS 14.1.2; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Master/Daily Build
Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: c4023d3ec604abfff38be2053e2989c7ec2ba8c1
CPU threads: 10; OS: macOS 14.1.2; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx

I was unable to reproduce this behavior in

Version: 24.2.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: db4def46b0453cc22e2d0305797cf981b68ef5ac
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: default; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

or

Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: a2265e8faa099d9652efd12392c2877c2df1d1eb
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: default; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

I tested it for a little over 10 minutes. I scrolled through the page, made edits in several places in the file, and saved frequently.
