While testing on macOS Mojave, we found that our patch installer triggers a common macOS problem: the Dock and Finder display the generic app icon for some applications. We found that this macOS problem occurred when our patch installer executed the "lsregister" command.

We had included this command in the patch installer several years ago to work around a bug in an older version of OS X. Fortunately, this workaround is no longer needed in macOS Sierra and later so we have removed this command in Patch 1.

If you are currently using the Mac App Store version of NeoOffice, you do not need to do anything. This bug only occurs in our patch installers and our patch installers are not used in the Mac App Store.
