No, I can reproduce this basically right after starting NeoOffice.

Kind regards,

OK. Since I cannot reproduce this on Mac OS 10.7.4 or 10.8, can you reinstall NeoOffice 3.3 Beta 2 with no test patches and see if this problem occurs on Mac OS 10.7.5?

After you test NeoOffice 3.3 Beta 2 with no test patches, can you reinstall the latest test patch and tell us what, if anything changes?

My hope is that NeoOffice 3.3 Beta 2 with no test patches works which would indicate that this is something that can be corrected in our code.

Before you reinstall NeoOffice 3.3 Beta 2 with no test patches, I have a test patch for you that I hope fixes the problem that you are seeing.

Can you install the following test patch and tell us if the empty menubar problem is fixed for you? If not, can you reinstall NeoOffice 3.3 Beta 2 with no test patches and see if the problem existed before any of the test patches?:

Ahh, I think I've found it! I noticed that I have the Navigator window open on my Mac where I have the problem. If I close the Navigator window, the problem goes away. So hopefully this will reproduce the problem:

- Open NeoOffice
- Open at lauch is set to none. (Don't know if this makes a difference)
- File->New->Text document
- Make sure View->Navigator is checked and visible
- Click the close button of the text document.
- Only Apple and NeoOffice menu remain.

Hope this works for you too.

Kind regards,
Ben

Do you have the iMediaBrowser floating window displayed in NeoOffice? I ask because I found one case where the empty menubar problem appears and that is when you have the iMediaBrowser window showing and you close a document window.

The iMediaBrowser window is displayed by selecting the Tools :: Add-Ons :: Show Media Browser menu so if you are unsure if you have the iMediaBrowser window open or not, select that menu and if a new window appears, then something else is the cause.

I did not see your post about the Navigator floating window until after I posted.

I can reproduce the bug using your steps. Interestingly, it only happens on Mac OS X 10.7 and not on Mac OS X 10.6. Also, your assumption that it only occurs when the NeoOffice :: Open at Launch :: -None- is checked is correct.

I will investigate further and I will post again when I have a fix for this bug for you to test.

Hi Patrick,

That latest patch fixed the problem. Very Happy

I actually had a crash when I reinstalled beta 3.3 and the test-6 patch. After that patch, NeoOffice started up as it usually does, but I was clicking around in other programs (can't remember what I did unfortunately) and NeoOffice crashed. I have attached the crash log. With the latest patch there were no problems of that kind.

Kind regards,
Ben

OK. If any crashing reoccurs with the latest test patch, please let us know. I have been pushing out a large number of bug fixes over the last week so I will wait another 2 days to see if any new bugs or crashes are reported with the latest test patch.

If none are reported, then I will release the latest test patch code in NeoOffice 3.3 Beta 2 Patch 1.

Hi Patrick,

Just had another crash. I was working in a sub-document (.odt) from a master document (.odm). I resized some linked images after which I saved it, and then clicked on the window of the master document. After that, NeoOffice crashed, see log. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce it.

Kind regards,
Ben

Another crash, same document, different subdocument. I closed the subdocument (a .odt) and then NeoOffice crashed.

Kind regards,
Ben

If I interpret both crashlogs correctly, I see that they appeared in the neighbourhood of /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/Frameworks/iMediaBrowser.framework/iMediaBrowser. But I do not have the iMediaBrowser enabled. It's unchecked in the Tools->Add ons menu.

Kind regards,
Ben

I looked closely through both your crash log and I don't see any iMediaBrowser code in the crash. The iMediaBrowser binary has been loaded by NeoOffice, but none of the code in that binary is executing.

What I do see in both is a crash in Mac OS X's "performSelectorOnMainThread" function. In one crash log, NeoOffice was using this to set the size of a window and in the other, NeoOffice was creating a new menu item.

Since both of these operations are called quite frequently, it is quite puzzling why Mac OS X's "performSelectorOnMainThread" function is crashing. Since you are seeing windows and menus, it is clearly working most of the time. Also, we used Mac OS X "performSelectorOnMainThread" function in NeoOffice 3.2.1 for common window and menu management functions as well so I suspect that there is something in the Mac OS X 10.7.5 developer seed build that you are running.

What I noticed in both your crash logs are "cl_kernels" lines like the following:
Code:
 0xa465000 -  0xa465ff7 +cl_kernels (??? - ???) <EF68DDD8> cl_kernels

No "cl_kernels" lines appear in any of my Mac OS X 10.7.4 crash logs. Also, your crash log has the "/usr/lib/libOpenScriptingUtil.dylib" binary which does not exist on Mac OS X 10.7.4 so it appears that the Mac OS X 10.7.5 developer seed is merging some 10.8 changes.

Based on the above, I can't rule out that the crashes aren't due to instability in the 10.7.5 developer seed that you are using. If you launch the /Applications/Utilities/Console application and search for "org.neooffice.NeoOffice" or "soffice.bin", are there any messages? If so, can you post them?

Patrick
