file that is overwritten by the bug
user settings and configurations as paths, menus, keyboard shortcuts,
default font, document view, etc., stored in the
".libreoffice/3/user/registrymodifications.xcu" file all get lost after
several restarts (usually about 4-5) and are reset to default (Times New
Roman, minimized window, etc), thereby the file getting overwritten with
the consequent loss of all settings.
Reproducible: always
LibreOffice 3.3.0
OOO330m19 (Build:6)
tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4
installed on Ubuntu Lucid, Kernel 2.6.32.28
Other users with the same problem, see:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10351798&postcount=44
http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/de/users/msg00331.html
workaround: make a backup of "registrymodifications.xcu" and copy at
again to its location at ".libreoffice/3/user/"
Though, it is rather annoying and time-costly

Very often (but not always) the error occurs in conjunction with an java

I can confirm this, it even seems to happen more often than with the RC
LibreOffice 3.3.1. :-(

more info on bug behavior:
1. bug will only occur with restart after closing the latest instance AND the Quickstart too.
2. When it occurs, program start is significantly slower than usual and splash screen does not appear.
3. Additionally, the user will not be asked to recover earlier documents either, whereas this will happen after restoring the registrymodifications.xcu file.

Could you please try to get strace log. I think that it would make sense
to get both strace logs. One when you run libreoffice, enable
quickstarter, quit LO and the quickstarter and the second when you start
libreffice against and the setting is lost.
BTW: How do you quit the quickstarter? By "Disable Quickstarter" or by "Quit
Quickstarter" or ?

In my case it only happens after working for some time with the Writer
component. From now on I will start LO with strace. Within the next
days, as soon as the bug occurs, I will post an strace log.

My settings are lost every time that I restart my computer, it does not
happen when I exit LibreOffice and I do not have Quickstarter enabled. I
have tried every proposed fix I can find but nothing helps. LibreOffice
is almost unusable for me without keyboard shortcuts, macros, toolbar
layout, etc. I have attached strace log files in the hopes that they
will help, since I am using a newer version of LibreOffice from the
previous logs. If there is any additional information that I can provide
to help isolate this bug please let me know.

I should add perhaps that with this release the bug happens much less
frequent than before, actually, the only instance to ocurr was shortly
after installing the new 3.3.2.RC1

So you are running 3.3.2 from the LO download site and you are _not_
experiencing the bug. Was the version you used the before (where you did

I am still getting this bug with 3.3.2 from download site. I have tried
both PPA and download with previous versions, bug was present in both

Also same for me at Linux Mint 10 using PPA version. I would even pay to

Title:
LibreOffice erases user settings, and block the use of interface
styles...
Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
Confirmed
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: libreoffice
Same thing as reported here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33915
In my case, not only user settings are overwritten and lost, but there
is also an additional effect: LibreOffice disables the visual styles
(Galaxy, Crystal, etc.), all but the default, Tango...
This is happening in both Ubuntu (10.04) and Xubuntu (10.04),
different PC's... Installed LibreOffice via PPA...
