     https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/2044369

[Scope]

 * Backport of https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/4:7.5.9-0ubuntu0.23.04.1

 * Backport target is Jammy/22.04 LTS releases to provide an official build of a more recent upstream version of LibreOffice

[Testing]

 * Upstream testing. Bugs fixed upstream typically include unit/regression tests, and the release itself is extensively exercised (both in an automated manner and manually).

  * A recent set of upstream's automated jenkins testing can be found here:

 * General smoke testing of all the applications in the office suite were carried out by going through the manual testplan as documented by: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Process/Merges/TestPlans/libreoffice

[Regression Potential]

 * A combination of autopkgtests and careful smoke testing as described above should provide reasonable confidence that no regressions sneaked in.
