Forgot to mention that uninstall (purge) and reinstall didn't work
Thank you for reporting the bug. it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.

(In reply to JL from comment #2) > Forgot to mention that uninstall (purge) and reinstall didn't work Did you uninstall using: dpkg --list | awk '/ii/&&/libreoffice/{print $2}' | sudo xargs apt --yes purge sudo apt --yes autoremove sudo rm -r /usr/lib/libreoffice/* and reinstalling using: sudo apt update --yes sudo apt install libreoffice libreoffice-gtk3 libreoffice-sdbc-hsqldb libreoffice-help-en-us --yes ?
Hi I upgraded to 7.0.3.1 and it seems to be ok now :) Not sure why I got the option to upgrade to 7.0.2 rc2 first from the PPA repo... Thanks anyway for the prompt responses. I mark it as fixed. Best regards /JL
