Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I have been unable to reproduce this bug. What I tried is:

1- Launch the System Testing application
2- On the Test Selection screen, I press "Deselect all" and then select "User Applications"
3- When the tests start, I press "Next" to skip tests that aren't related to *Office.
4- When I hit a test that says "Now we will attempt to open..." and refers to a file type that can be handled by *Office (for instance, an .odt file) I press "Test"

Upon doing this, my Natty system correctly launches LibreOffice and displays the requested document.

In any case this doesn't look like a problem with System Testing, as all it does is launch the user's preferred application by invoking

xdg-open /usr/share/checkbox/data/documents/OpenOffice_Text_Test.odt

So what I'd like to ask you is to run the command I posted above, from a terminal window (press ctrl-alt-t to open a terminal window), and let us know what happens. Ideally it should open the document with LibreOffice.

You can also check which application your system uses to open odt files with this command:

xdg-mime query default application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text

on Natty this should output

libreoffice-writer.desktop

If it outputs something different, please also let me know.

Thanks!
