Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

I wonder if https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1859838 would be a duplicate of this.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
