Kubuntu 14.04 (KDE Desktop Environment)

Packages from this ppa:
https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice

Version: 4.3.0-3ubuntu2~trusty1 (as reported by dpkg, note updated packages as of about 1 hour ago)
or 4.3.0.4 Build ID: 430m0(Build:4) as reported by LibreOffice about dialog.

LibreOffice uses it's native filepicker/save dialogs, regardless of whether the config option "Use LibreOffice Dialogs" is ticked or not.

This is a regression from 4.2.4-0ubuntu2 currently in the main ubuntu security repository.

According to the LO team, both these bugs have patches that address the automatic disabling of Qt dialogs at runtime (if buggy Qt is detected.)
