QS/LibreOffice

[Fred Weiner]

I've noticed that QS becomes unresponsive to its activation command once LibreOffice has been loaded. I use Mission Control and Spaces with QS set to show up in any and all of them, with LO loaded into a dedicated space, at which time QS does not appear. When QS crashes, which is frequent, that also makes it, obviously, so it doesn't respond to its activation command, but then, when I double click it's icon in /Applications, it, along with a crash report box, loads. When LO is loaded, double clicking the QS app icon does nothing: Quicksilver acts as if it's not loaded but it must be, because after closing LO, QS reappears. Sorry for the verbosity. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Is it possible that it’s coming up, but you just can’t see it? I
assume LibreOffice isn’t using standard macOS UI code, so the window
layering might be confused.

The interface you’re using could also make a difference. You might try
different interfaces in QS to see if that helps. (Not as a permanent
switch, but just to troubleshoot.) Some of them might not appear above
full screen apps.

What version of macOS and Quicksilver are you on? Crashes are pretty
rare with the latest version.

Does it not appear in the space where LibreOffice is running, or does it
not appear anywhere?
