Mozaic, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, the LibreOffice PPA is not a software package provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software package. Thanks!

If you are interested in learning more about software repositories and Ubuntu the following pages should be informative:
