Open Office always shows Recovery Prompt

Hi,

I don't really know how to debug this, so I don't really have any further information than this:

If I start up my system and open "openoffice4", I get the Recovery Mode Prompt. I'm on i3wm if that somehow matters (which I doubt).

So has anyone an idea what happens and where I can get some more debugging information?

Re: Open Office always shows Recovery Prompt

Won't happen if you exit Libreoffice yourself. It happens if LO crashes, but unfortunately also if you log out of the system without quiting LO first. Perhaps it also happens if you close LO the i3 way, i.e. with the close window hotkey (<Mod><Shift>q by default if I am right). Perhaps you want to test: Quit libreoffice using its own menu, then restart or quit libreoffice with your i3 hotkey then restart, or do not quit LO, log out and back in. My guess is it may occur with the last two ways.

Thanks for that hint - I'm going to try it out.
