Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 107772
native open/save dialogs should not block other OOo instances

-Open 2 or more Calc instances (new file or an existing document). -Press open/save buttons or File-> Open/Save As. Do so in any of the open instances. Let's call this, instance 'A'. ' -Go to any other of the opened instances and the instance behaves as though it had freezed. -Go back to instance 'A' and cancel the open/save dialog. -Now all the other instances work normally.
confirmed, but it's rather an enhancement. When using the OOo file dialogs, you can have a file dialog open for one document but continue editing other documents. Windows native file dialogs behave the same way. Native file dialogs on Linux (gnome) and Mac OS/X block othe OOo documents. REquested behavior is that native file dialogs on Linux / Mac behave the same way as on Windows (or OOo's own dialogs)
