Hi. I tried to download version 4.0.0 L.O on Windows 7 X64 bit, but after installation launching program failed (can be installed but can not launched) ! I tried both X32 & X64 bit version of L.O 4.0.0 !!

Please any other person can follow this bug & test it on L.O 4.0.0 beta 2 ?? I can not investigate !

Hi. please can you re-test this issue from your side. I'm unable to test it because I'm on Fedora 26 & last L.O version in Fedora 26 repositories is 5.3.7.2

I tried to use AppImage to run L.O version 6 but it did not worked on my system & I already opened a bug about that:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115959

So, I can not use L.O version 6

Please give attention for this bug because I think that it is still existing ....

Hi. I, finally, test this issue on LibreOffice 6.0 AppImage on my Fedora Linux 26 X64 Cinnamon edition. 

This very bad bug was fixed !

Thank you very very much !
