@zleap Hi! You say you're using "LibreOffice 7.2 (7.3 community)" but those are two separate and distinct major versions. (Both are old and unsupported for years, by the way – please update to a maintained branch like LibreOffice 24.8 as soon as possible, as that may well fix the issue you're having!)

@zverik @fsfe Ah, OK. We'll change the link

@DoKo @FreieSoftwareOG Well, OpenOffice's last big update was in 2014, and it's had repeated problems fixing security holes on time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – But LibreOffice is the properly maintained and actively developed successor project 😊

Free Software (like #LibreOffice) is about far more than just zero-cost. It’s about the freedom to use, share and modify the software that we all rely on. Make sure that the European Commission doesn't cut funding for Free Software: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/09/13/bring-back-free-software-funding-give-your-feedback-to-the-european-commission/ @fsfe #foss #opensource

@StrangeNoises Thanks!

Update time! #LibreOffice 24.8 is our latest stable branch, with many new features. Today we're releasing LibreOffice 24.8.1 – the first minor update – with bugfixes and compatibility improvements: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/09/12/libreoffice-24-8-1/ #foss #opensource #news

In August, #LibreOffice's #QA community resolved 475 bug reports! And developers worked on a ton of cool new features too: https://qa.blog.documentfoundation.org/2024/09/09/qa-dev-report-august-2024/ #foss #opensource

@gherhartd Ah OK – not seen any other reports of that here, but can you check on https://bugs.documentfoundation.org to see if anyone else is having a similar issue, and if not, submit a quick bug report? Thanks 😊

@gherhartd @calaad Hi! Do you mean, with LibreOffice 24.8.0? When you say "fail", what exactly happens – what error message(s)?

@qwertziop @InsertUser Then... Don't use it 😉 It's a purely optional extension, after all, not built-in to the software...

LibreOffice 24.8 is our new major stable release, but we're also maintaining the previous 24.2 branch for a while longer, to give people time to upgrade. And today we're announcing LibreOffice 24.2.6, a bugfix update: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/09/05/libreoffice-24-2-6/ #foss #OpenSource

@rzeta0 Hi! Thanks for updating the bug report – the QA community there can guess better at what the cause may be, than me on social media 😉
