Seems the only way to start the program is a two-step process - click the icon, then click another icon to access writer. 98% of the time all I use is Writer, and going through two steps is a pain in the butt. I guess I'll give OpenOffice a try. Hope you can streamline this important process.
Thank you very much for your report! This is more or less the same issue as in bug 50278, therefore I mark this report as a duplicate of the latter. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 50278 ***
