+1I hadn't noticed the LibreOffice issue that was mentioned but, after checking, confirmed that I was also getting it. I installed libreoffice-gtk3 to fix the issue (which it did) but it also fixed another issue I had where the LibreOffice menu entries would flicker when I moved the mouse pointer over them.Code:
lurch left a comment (raspberrypi/bookworm-feedback#398)without libreoffice-gtk3 installed, LibreOffice will try to use the X11 backend instead of the Wayland backend.
I was preparing a LibreOffice Impress presentation on my desktop PC, but it will be presented using my Pi 5 hooked up to an HDMI input to a projector in the meeting room. I noticed both the lack of "minimization" button for the application window, and some jumpy pull-down menu behavior. Installing libreoffice-gtk3 from the Add/Install Software GUI fixed it and it's running smoothly now.
I suppose I could have tried figuring out if I have Libreoffice-Pi installed and if not, uninstall what I have and install that in its place, but the former solution seemed much easier and quicker to implement. And it worked. If it hadn't, I'd try the other.
I'm kind of surprised at the implication that libreoffice-pi isn't the default LO installation, if that is an equivalent solution. Maybe it depends on which iso you download (recommended software or not). I used to always choose the big one, and trim it down, but sometimes I know choose just the desktop and instead build it up. Maybe that's where one can find a difference.
