You raised some great points about the selection UI. Did you file any bug reports for them? For your bad.doc, I think it's a missing font issue. Would you mind posting the file somewhere like Google Docs or Skydrive so we could take a look at it? For the smooth scrolling, you need to enable it under: Tools->Options->Writer->View Unfortunately, it is disabled by default. I love the idea of Free software, use LO at home, and pushed for it at work. After a pilot LO rollout, we ended up going with MSO 2010 because of LO's poor interoperability with our old Word docs.

Exactly what is the etiquette for filing bug reports? I think of bugs as something not working as intended. Pressing left from a selection taking the cursor one space to the left of its rightmost extent, instead of to the leftmost extent, is stupid, but presumably working as intended. Should I file a bug saying OOo doesn't do HTML syntax highlighting? A bug complaining that in all the years I've had it installed (pre-2009, even), it has never mined one bitcoin for me?

  It's called a feature request. If you think bitcoin mining falls under the scope an office suite, please do us all a favor and stay away from their bug tracker.

    I'm missing something very funny I suspect. Please elaborate.

1. Nope I haven't submitted bug reports, I've just used Word instead. 2. Ah, I think you're right about the missing font, I didn't realize that. I'll get back to you if I find another example, there are a million things I've noticed over time that don't render correctly other than fonts. (EDIT: See my other comment.) 3. Actually, I do have smooth scrolling "enabled", but it doesn't have any effect whatsoever (as of version 4.0.0.3).

As promised in my ohter comment, here's another example file, this time a .docx: http://www40.zippyshare.com/v/24126556/file.html http://www40.zippyshare.com/v/24126556/file.html Try opening it in MS Word and compare it with LibreOffice and you'll see why I ran away screaming: http://i.imgur.com/4tSWXsn.png http://i.imgur.com/4tSWXsn.png vs. http://i.imgur.com/3tBLuff.png http://i.imgur.com/3tBLuff.png
