libreoffice incredibly buggy in 12.10?

**Hagar Delest** · November 27th, 2012

I've opened 15 documents (.doc and .odt) with right click in Nautilus (default association is set to AOO on my system). No problem so far, even after a while.

With LO 3.6.2.2 on Quetzal and Gnome 3.6.0.

If you change the font in the View options, does it help?

Hagar Delest, thanks for making the tests.

Actually this bug became less important to me, as another, much more serious, caused by kernel update (3.7), brought me serious trouble with video driver. I'm able to live with LibreOffice bugs, I'll wait for a new version and hope they stop to occur.

My bug seems to be that the menus in LO appear but don't work, i.e., File -> Save does not work when clicked on. For me the solution was to restart LO and not having to reboot... yet.

I have two machines with Ubuntu. One has 12.10 amd64 and the other has i386. Both versions have a very buggy LibreOffice. LOs crash all the time, respond very late, you cannot even scroll down in a document without having a problem. Most of the problems are to be seen in the Writer.

On the both machines I removed the LO (3.6.2etc) that came default and installed a newer version from the LO (3.6.3) website. And, that was it. It works perfect now.

Of course, Ubuntu has to fix the problem. But, I really cannot deal with it and spend my time to find some solutions on Google.

No problem here with stock Libre Office, except for known issues 1) no hotkey acces to main menu (e.g. Alt+F to open the file menu); workaround: I removed global menu, and 2) after some time, instances of LibreOffice are not anymore attached to a locked LO icon, but appear as a separate icon (that, at least, is fully functional; workaround: no locked LO icons in the launcher for now. With these two workarounds, I am left with a stable LO on 12.10.
