If Apple say they want to look at workflows, and winkle out bugs, then I've got a good one - but incredibly specific to LibreOffice.
If they get the LibreOffice git repository, then run:
make sw.all
eventually it will get to the unit tests and one of our exports kills the display server. Only happens if you run it on a iMac Pro 4K screen running max resolution.
We know it's something we are doing around graphics, but for the life of us we can't work out what that is. But also: I would have thought killing the display server like this should be something that shouldn't be possible...

- chris_wot 9y agoAlmost certainly :-) For anyone who wants to find out about the above-referenced bug, see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8171956 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8171956
