Just having installed OO 4.1.11 on macos catalina. Opening the same timesheet workbook I do every day, now OO quits "unexpectedly" after a few seconds. I thoroughly uninstalled OO using CleanMyMac and reinstalled from scratch. The error details mention segmentation fault, so suspecting memory or disk errors, I did complete memory check and surface scan using TechTool Pro, no errors. Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks for the tip. I booted in Safe Mode, launched OpenOffice and opened a one-page word Doc. A few seconds after displaying the document, it quit again. Switched back to NeoOffice for now, until some resolution is found.

Thanks much for all these references. I'm new to the forum, hadn't done much searching. I don't see any actual solutions among the threads, except the recommendation to switch to
https://www.libreoffice.org/. Since I already use that on Ubuntu, and the Mac-only NeoOffice is funky, I'm going to try switching to LibreOffice.

Attach this document. Better to reproduce, no?
