Right-clicking on .txt file > Open with Context Menu lists LibreOffice twice

Hi photosample
Thank you for the report!

Could you please check in your installed software (i.e. in the "Remove apps" dialogue, sorry I can't remember the exact name) that you only have one version of LibreOffice installed?

Could you also please check if the version differs in any way in Help > About LibreOffice when you open the file with both options?

Finally, does this happen only with .txt files?

I've set the bug to "needinfo" but once you answer these questions, please feel free to mark the status as "unconfirmed" again.

After uninstalling (version 7.1.8.1), both instances of LibreOffice disappeared from "Open with".
When reinstalling, they appear again.

There is no other version installed in this PC.

regedit.exe (Windows) shows both Calc and Writer as open with options.

This also applies to not only .txt files but to .doc files as well. If LibreOffice is installed it will show twice when right-clicking and uninstalling both disappear.

confirmed with .txt files, but not with other file types. Tested with the following:

- Make sure file types are not associated to LibreOffice by default (for consistency)
- In file browser, right-click and "Open with"

Results:

- TXT: 2 × LibreOffice
- DOC: 1 × LibreOffice Writer
- DOCX: 1 × LibreOffice Writer
- ODT: 1 × LibreOffice

Using the two options for TXT does not seem to do anything differently.

I META this bug as "File opening issues". It's not about a file not opening, but it's related somehow to opening a file with LibreOffice.

Dear photosample,

4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
