This bug is very easy to reproduce. Here's how to do it on LibreOffice 5.1.6.2:
Start LibreOffice Writer. Type a few characters to ensure it's responsive. File->New->Presentation (this starts Impress) In that new window Insert->Image... (that gives you a File selection dialog) Don't finish selecting a file, switch back to the Writer window. Try to type some characters. Fail. In other words, the LO file selection dialog is modal and blocks everything else in LibreOffice. To anyone used to using other office suites, where the word processor, spreadsheet and presentation app are all independent tasks, this behaviour is extremely unexpected, puzzling, irritating and broken. And has been broken for at least 7 years. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990541 Title: Libreoffice Writer freezes when Impress add picture dialog is open To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/990541/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
