This thread is about libreoffice-fresh only. Earlier, downgrading to the version that worked was a valid solution, now it’s not possible anymore and I had to use non-repo version.
Libreoffice fresh vs.still install#
I was forced to install libreoffice from snap, which of course works without issues. Since on testing, none of the latest libreoffice-fresh rebuilds that launch is usable, THERE IS NO USABLE REPO VERSION THAT LAUNCHES ON TESTING. sometimes saving documents doesn’t work or works, but we can’t tell, because UI is not updating.various interface graphical glitches making the whole GUI a mess, so we can’t know what we are looking at or clicking at.sometimes clipboard doesn’t work, so forget copying any of the data to other programs….changing size of the cells won’t update correctly graphics, namely, increased cell contains graphically other cells and their content inside, although the content is in other cells, which makes any table useless.scrolling tables leaves various graphical artifacts, lines, etc.What is happening? There are countless problems that make the program unusable, to name a few: Those issues aren’t happening on Windows or other distributions. I didn’t test other components, but Calc is the most important one and if it doesn’t work, all libreoffice is useless.įrom what I know, this is a problem of the latest rebuilds on Arch. To launch it, we must install any of the newer version, but ALL OF THEM ARE BROKEN: Unfortunately, on testing, it doesn’t launch anymore because of libraries incompatibility.
