            Bug ID: 127724
           Summary: Multiple instances of LibreOffice from separate
                    machines (shared homedir) not working
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.6.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
If I try to open another instance of LibreOffice on another machine (with my
home directory shared via NFS), when one is already running, the second
instance only flashes the LibreOffice splash banner (like it is stuck in a
loop). 

In another environment that I have, which is running an older version,
6.1.5.2-lp150.2.10.1.x86_64 (this is an openSUSE 15.0 Leap package in both
environments), it works correctly by first telling me that another instance is
accessing my personal settings, and asking if I want to continue.

Note that if I start libreoffice on the second instance in safe mode, it works.
I have already reset my libreoffice profile and that did not correct the issue.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start LibreOffice on machine A (homedir is on NFS) via 'libreoffice'
command.
2. Start 2nd instance of LibreOffice on machine B (homedir is on same NFS
volume) via 'libreoffice' command.

Actual Results:
2nd instance won't start, looks to be stuck in a loop and just showing the
splash/banner over and over.  ps shows that oosplash is spawning soffice.bin
over and over again (PID changes for soffice.bin but not oosplash during every
iteration of the splash banner flashing).

Expected Results:
LibreOffice shows warning 'Either another instance of LibreOffice is accessing
your personal settings or your personal settings are locked.... Do you really
want to continue?'  Selecting 'Yes' allows you to start the 2nd instance
LibreOffice.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
-LibreOffice profile was reset but it did not correct the issue.
-Starting libreoffice --safe-mode allows the 2nd instance to start.
-disabling openGL did not fix the issue.
-Both machines are openSUSE 15.0 Leap (x86_64) with the libreoffice package
from that distro. (libreoffice-6.2.6.2-lp150.2.16.1.x86_64)
