I am running LibreOffice 5.3.6.1 under the latest update of CentOS 7 and the Mate desktop. Not infrequently LibreOffice Calc locks up and I have to force close the application. Altough the spreadsheet is rather large I would not consider it complex.
This has been going on for some time and I am curious if the bug might be in LibreOffice or if there is some interaction with the Mate desktop that might be responsible. Both CentOS, LibreOffice and Mate have been regularly updated from the standard repositories for a long time.
Does anyone else have the same problem?
Yes, libreoffice sometimes locks up when trying to open a file. The same problem was there with Debian, and now it's the same with Fedora.
I have made a bug report about it, and the response was that there is insufficient information to do anyhing. Unfortunately, I don't have sufficient information I could give because it just happens sometimes to users who have been so far unable to tell me if particular types of files are affected or if there are any discerninable circumstances that could help to figure this out.
Here's the bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1809771
