Description narayanaras 2012-06-26 01:03:36 UTC

The Help menu in LibreOffice should provide a link that the user can click to reach the freedesktop.org site, so that he can file a bug/suggestion.

Currently he has to Google for the site using Libreoffice+bug as search words.
(why is the bug-tracker so well-hidden from users???).

Because it hurts the product reputation. LibreOffice is marketed as a professional product equal to or surpassing Microsoft Office.

That's a good one! :D

Closing down this tracker will make LibreOffice even better!

This is a great idea and several other pieces of software do something similar. Raising this to highest level enhancement and confirming as NEW. Thanks for the feedback

Currently this feature is available under Help -> Send Feedback...

I would like to change the wording to "File a bug...", as the link directly links to the wiki bug page (not freedesktop but it's easy enough to get there). It's better to link to the wiki so users (hopefully) read this to learn how to file a bug with libreoffice to make it easier on us to properly assign. 

Also raising to a trivial low bug because it's just a label change to be clearer.

Apologize for the double post, should have checked before submitting my last comment ;)

There is a link to the Bugzilla Submission Assistant.
