LibreOffice Issues
by kentraco from LinuxQuestions.org on (#59Z54)
I'm a writer and use LibreOffice a lot. I know it's very highly regarded, but with Zorin 15.3 there are some quirks I encounter on a regular basis that are quite irritating.
I often need to keep several .odt files open and minimized so that I can refer to them as I'm working. It's not uncommon to find myself suddenly unable to maximize anything and having to close all tabs in order to do so.
Moving phrases around in a document (which I do a lot) is hit-or-miss. Copy and paste, whether with keyboard shortcuts or right click of the mouse, often takes more than one try. And that happens whether I try to paste formatted or unformatted. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. That really slows me down.
I understand that LibreOffice is based upon OpenOffice, which I used without difficulty before switching to Linux from Windows 7 early this year. Between that program and Word, I guess I got spoiled.
