Michael Larabel really the icon for this write up being BSD I think you typo-ed.

> better KDE 5 integration
If there was any at all... hopefully they'll get that done, soon.

I also hope they'll fix some long standing performance issues, like rendering glitches and slowness. We need LibO as a free(dom), powerful, stable and generally well-working office suite on Linux, but also on other platforms as a countermeasure to this nasty MSO dictatorship.
But currently it does offer a lot of stuff but also has a lot of rough edges for me.

Yep thanks

When are they going to fix the regression that they added to LibreOffice 6.0 where the program goes into a crash loop when you simply click on a file that is already opened?
Incidentally, the document recovery itself crashes and you have to cancel document recovery to get out of the crash loop.

I'd really like to see work on basic functionality rather than marketing features.

I assume you've reported it to the bugzilla and a QA person reproduced your case.

That sounds very serious. Please report it if you haven't already done so.
I can't reproduce it here on Linux (gtk3 theme) but your setup may be different. You will also be doing a good deed by helping other people who are encountering the same crash but are not aware of where to look for libreoffice website or something.

But everyone knows all devs read Phoronix forums :P
