Description ricky.tigg 2019-01-31 21:28:58 UTC
Description:
Enhancement request – documentation involved: Writer Guide v. 6.0 (July 2018)

Steps to Reproduce:
Statement: "When LibreOffice is open but no document is open, the Start Center is shown." – see attachment –.

Actual Results:
In order to get Start Center displayed on Linux, Fedora, within Gnome 3 environment, Writer application has to be launched, which subsequently opens a new document which at last has to be closed. This documentation makes no mention about ways to start Start Center application individually since Gnome search field key word "libreoffice" does not currently produce anything related to an eventual  application named "Start Center". Clicking the Help box, which opens by default to Start Center page does not document any mean to achieve such goal

Expected Results:
Application Start Center to be able to be launched on Linux individually on demand without requiring any application related to Libreoffice suite to be previously launched.



Reproducible: Always

That's a Fedora downstream decision to hide the start center launcher. TDF builds aren't affected => RESOLVED NOTOURBUG.
