Yes, this is a Mac-specific menu issue.

Background: On MacOS X, in every application the 2nd menu in the global menu
bar (right after the Apple menu and right before the File and the Edit menu)
has the name of the application, therefore, in LibreOffice, it is called
"LibreOffice". This menu contains special entries related to the application
itself, not to a specific document; especially the "About <Application Name>"
menu item, which shows the About box, the "Quit <Application Name>" menu item,
which quits the application, and the "Preferences..." menu item which allows to
see and edit the application's preferences.

To be compliant with this convention on MacSO X, the global settings of
LibreOffice are not located under "Tools > Options" (as on Windows), but under
"LibreOffice > Preferences ...". Therefore, one sentence of the message quoted
by Hans Hermann Meyer is not correct for MacOS X. Instead of:

"Macros may contain viruses. Execution of macros is disabled due to the current
macro setting in Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Security."

the message should read (on MacOS X only, of course):

"Macros may contain viruses. Execution of macros is disabled due to the current
macro setting in LibreOffice - Preferences... - LibreOffice - Security."

*

Still REPRODUCIBLE with LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 (Build-ID:
235ab8a-3802056-4a8fed3-2d66ea8-e241b80), German langpack installed, on MacOS X
10.6.8 German.

Confirmed, therefore changed Status to NEW.

@Rainer Bielefeld:
Should we change the 'Component' field, too? This is not a problem with the
online help, as 'Documentation' suggests, but IMHO rather a 'UI' problem.
