Bug ID: 150549
Summary: Libreoffice leaves "zombie process" running after
closing any LibreOffice component, preventing new
components from opening
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.0.3 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I can open a LibreOffice component, calc or writer, then close it (using [CTRL
+ W] or the generic close button in the top right) and a "Zombie" LibreOffice
process is opened and does not close, as well as the original LibreOffice and
Calc processes staying alive.
This new "Zombie" process consumes an odd amount of CPU resources, anywhere
from 5%-15% of CPU, and ~115MB of RAM, while the original LibreOffice process
consumes exactly 0 CPU and 0.9MB RAM, and the original Calc process consumes 0%
CPU and 0.5MB of RAM.
The "Zombie" process will run forever, bouncing between 5%-15% CPU utilization
while i keep it alive. It can only be killed with the task manager, and once
this process is killed, the other two original processes also close.
While the zombie process is alive, no new LibreOffice processes are allowed to
open, of any kind. They will "start" and can be seen in the Task manager, but
will not actually open the UI until the zombie process is killed.
This bug occurs in both windows 10 and 11 environments and on several different
machines.
I experienced it in 7.2, 7.3 and now in 7.4.
If I can provide some debug report from LibreOffice, let me know.
However, it does not occur on ALL of my machine running LibreOffice. It seems
that at some point something in the config gets corrupt or something and then
it occurs every time LibreOffice is run.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any LibreOffice component.
2. Close same component.
Actual Results:
New zombie process started and original processes still running, no new
components are allowed to be started.
Expected Results:
Application closes completely. New components are able to be opened without
issue.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
OpenGL enabled: Yes
Additional Info:
Version: 7.4.0.3 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: f85e47c08ddd19c015c0114a68350214f7066f5a
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22622; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: CL
Tried launching in safe mode. In safe mode, the application starts and
crashes...so it made it worse. Disabling safe mode allows application to start.
