Description of problem: Libreoffice writer and calc freeze when I try to open files with "open". I can open files with "recent documents" and from Dolphin. Also freezes if I try to insert an image in writer. This is following the most recent update. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Libreoffice Version: 6.4.4.2 Build ID: 6.4.4.2-1.mga7 How reproducible: Every time I try to open a file from writer and calc Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
I eventually found the source of the problem which was a large accumulation of ever longer lock files in my .config directory. These were of the form: lo_kde5filepickerrc.lock.rmlock lo_kde5filepickerrc.lock.rmlock.rmlock ... etc. I assume they got so long that they exceeded 255 bytes. I deleted them all and LibreOffice now works
Sorry to have left you so long. I wanted to try the problem, did not reproduce it, then a long interval before I had a more serious go. Again, no problem with Writer or Calc opening existing files with the file chooser. But thank you for your own investigation, good news.
