Bug Description

When I double click on the document. It does not open and gives an error Archive type not supported.
However, when I launch libre and open it, the thing works.

I am experiencing similar annoyances in other areas too after I did the upgrade.
It's taking longer to boot, it messed up my windows partition, the suspend doesn't work any more.
I can go on and on.

The previous version was better, at least it did not give issues.
