This page describes potential issues related to installing or upgrading to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. These issues are primarily issues with the Mac OS X itself or third-party software, but we are providing this page as a service to NeoOffice users.
Unsolved Issues
- Image Capture dialog will cause NeoOffice to hang - When you select either the Tools :: Add-ons :: Paste Image from Camera or Scanner menu or the Insert :: Picture :: Scan :: Request menu, a floating window will appear. If you click on the red "window close" button in that window's titlebar, NeoOffice will hang. This is a Mac OS X 10.6 bug, not a NeoOffice bug so the only solution is to never press the red "window close" button in that floating window. We have reported this bug as bug 7184145 in Apple's bug tracking system.
