Bug#695480: libreoffice: opening a file should not block the whole application
Package: libreoffice
Version: 1:3.5.4+dfsg-4
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
I frequently work with foreign files of the MSO variety, and opening
them can easily take a lot of time (> 1 minute). I would much prefer
to not wait until the file is completely read, but instead work on
a different file that I already have open in the meantime. But every
time I open a file, the whole application blocks until loading has
finished.
Kind regards,
--Toni++
