Description Rainer Bielefeld 2013-12-30 15:42:58 UTC
Due to several comments in and "Bug 123681 - UNRESPONSIVE WARNING WINDOW, PROGRAM CAN NOT EXPORT TO RESCUE DATA, ONLY FORCE QUIT WILL CLOSE " and new "Bug 119006 - Restore windows problem on Mac OS X" there is some evidence that AOO does not work at all for MAC. That should be mentioned in release notes (and may be on download page).

So please add one of above mentioned bugs to "Known Issues"!.

I had the problem once on my new computer. Same workaround as for Bug 119006 fixed the problem. The solution has also worked for many people on the forum and the user mailing list. 

The release notes for 3.4.1 had the workaround.

I had provided the following in the Bug 119006 comments:
Option-click the Go menu
Choose Library from the menu to open the folder in the Finder.
Click on the folder Saved Application State
Delete the file org.openoffice.script.savedState

Rainer: you can add it to https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0.1+Release+Notes#AOO4.0.1ReleaseNotes-KnownIssues (in addition to the current pointer to 4.0 Known Issues) like Keith just did for 4.1:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1+Release+Notes
(you should have editing right on cwiki).

I don't remember reports of the bug with 4.0.0, only with 4.0.1. This is why I would prefer to have it in the 4.0.1 Release Notes (unless there are reports of it happening with 4.0.0 too).

Andrea;
I have added the text to the 4.0.1 release notes on the cwiki. Before this can be closed the html copy of the release notes at http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/4.0.1.html should also be changed. My html skills are virtually non-existent so I feel leary about making those changes and possibly screwing something up.
