Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 127162
Crash when opening a presentation (macOS 10.12)
Last modified: 2017-03-29 17:48:26 UTC
I am using the presentation tool in OpenOffice,however, since the installation of OSX Sierra, i have been unable to open the App. the writing and spreadsheet apps work fine. I have googled it and it appears that there maybe an issue with the the version of Java i am using (1.8). When i open the preferences it says i can add 1.6 but I'm not sure how to do that or even if this is my issue. Can someone help please?
Java is not required for Impress. Did you make installation from scratch? Crash occurs if the profile is corrupted. Try to reset it.
@kd_harris: please attach the Apple Crash report, and take a look at bug 127143
Have trashed the user profiles but same issue persists unfortunately.
Users on the French forum confirm that macOS 10.12.1 solves this crash. See also issue 127143
Unfortunately this hasn't solved the issue. For me it crashes as soon as i select the 'Create' button in the Presentation Wizard
(In reply to kd_harris from comment #5) > Unfortunately this hasn't solved the issue. For me it crashes as soon as i > select the 'Create' button in the Presentation Wizard You have updated to 10.12.1? Do you have "VoiceOver" or Siri" enabled? Can you attach the Apple Crash report, please?
