Bug#681185: libreoffice: Opening a document when LO is already running returns too early
Package: libreoffice
Version: 1:3.5.4-5
Severity: normal
This sequence often fails:
$ libreoffice &
$ libreoffice /tmp/something.odt; rm /tmp/something.odt
This is because the second command signals LO to open the document and then
returns immediately, instead of waiting for the file to be actually opened.
This is bad because some email programs open attachments that way (mutt for
instance). In effect, I cannot open an LO attachment from within mutt;
instead I have to store it to /tmp and then open it, manually.
This is very annoying and difficult to understand for novice users,
particularly as this sequence sometimes succeeds.
