Libreoffice snap: missing features and known bugs

[Ads20000]

Font antialiasing not working. Texts look bad.

I filed a bug for this (please mark yourself as affected). Workaround: use the ‘Ubuntu on Xorg’ session, though you might have to restart your computer first…

@uttam2707

It’s using a very old and ugly Adwaita theme similar to the snaps like VLC and Skype. However, some other snaps like Atom comes with nice theme; so maybe it can be fixed.

This has been in progress for a while, the most recent update is here.

@uttam2707

System fonts are not available. Only a few font options are there.

This should be fixed, please comment on this thread saying it isn’t working on LibreOffice (linking back to your post here) and give them the output of snap version and the tracking and installed lines of snap info libreoffice and snap info core.

E.g. my LibreOffice snap version

$ snap info libreoffice
tracking:    candidate
installed:   6.0.2.1 (53) 419MB -
$ snap version
snap    2.31.1
snapd   2.31.1
series  16
ubuntu  17.10
kernel  4.13.0-36-generic
$ snap info core
tracking:    candidate
installed:   16-2.31.1 (4110) 85MB core

Places (Documents, Downloads, Pictures etc.) in the file open dialogue box does not work. Bookmarked locations (Documents, Downloads etc.) work.

I suspect this is related to this bug but please can you file a new one (make sure to add ‘[snap]’ to the start of the bug title and add the ‘snap’ tag to the bug report)?

Launcher icon is always the blank document icon be it writer document or calc.
