Anyone using LibreOffice on a Mac with the M4 SoC? It eventually freezes on my new M4 Max MBP when I explore the settings.

There is a guy (Patrick Luby) slowly chewing his way through the weirder mac issues and he seems to be making progress, so things are getting better (slowly)

Would those bugs be specific to M4 macs? Using LO without probs here for very simple docs if the increasingly rare occasional need for a printed letter comes up.

Strange bugs on Mac made me switch to OnlyOffice (and also open source) for the very seldom local file editing of office documents (using mostly Google Workspace).

The same thing happens to me all the time. One of the most annoying things on Apple Silicon for me as a long time Linux enthusiast.

    Disabling "Use Skia for rendering" (settings » libreoffice » view) seems to improve things a bit, but doesn't completely fix the problem.

    I have similar problems even on Intel Mac. I've messed with Skia rendering, Java versions, screen resolution, all to no avail.
