Thanks :) I think it used to be quite noticeable. Whichever one was open first (including quick-starter if that was enabled) would stay fine but the 2nd instance wouldn't open, or would get part-way open and then crash. I think the problem was caused by LibreOffice and OpenOffice (and i think the various forks which have now mostly merged back into LO or AOO afaik) using the same command to open; soffice Since this would attempt to re-open the same program/suite in the same program-folder but also trying to be whichever one you'd tried to open 2nd it would all get very confusing for the poor machine. It's possibly entirely different from that but that is the way i understood it at the time from various people trying to explain it.
Neither of them currently uses soffice. LibreOffice uses libreoffice and OpenOffice uses openoffice4. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscribe@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
