We do extensive testing before every major release of #LibreOffice. But as it's a large app used in millions of different ways, issues can come up. So The Document Foundation has expanded its team with a new #QA Analyst: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/09... #foss #openSource #freesoftware

Hi – the page is technical because our volunteers need specific information, in order to fix issues. An alternative you can use is the users mailing list: wiki.documentfoundation.org/Users/Mailin...

LibreOffice @libreoffice.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

That's risky – OpenOffice has "red" status due to many unfixed security problems, and is not recommended for production use: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_... (It's also had no major update since 2014.) Far safer to use one of the actively maintained and fixed successor projects...

LibreOffice @libreoffice.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

You can find the version in LibreOffice > About in the menu. We want to help, but please remember that we're a volunteer-driven project with limited resources. Volunteers can only fix issues when they have lots of details about the setup (and steps to reproduce the issue). Thanks for understanding!

Hi! Without details about the problems (LibreOffice version, operating system, exact steps to reproduce etc.) it's hard for us to fix things. We're a volunteer-driven project with limited resources, so please help us to help you by reporting at bugs.documentfoundation.org with details. Thank you!

OpenOffice has had "red" risk status for six months due to unfixed security problems – please read this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_... – No updates, no fixes. Just "red" status for months and months, and silence from OpenOffice.

Note that OpenOffice has "red" risk due to old, unfixed security problems and is strongly not recommended for production use: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_... – But yes, there are actively fixed and properly maintained successor projects.

OpenOffice's last big update was in 2014, and despite some rare minor updates, has unfixed security issues and "red" risk status: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_... – Virtually all development activity moved to LibreOffice, the successor project (which has massively improved MS Office compatibility.)

Ah, so you mean, if you drag the app into a non-OS volume/drive, an error message pops up when running it? Maybe you can report it to the QA community at bugs.documentfoundation.org with some detals about your setup, so they can investigate. Thanks 😊
