Problem with LibreOffice installed with SiGUI

This note is more for QA people in LibreOffice project. 

If you test LibreOffice in Windows then possibly you use the SiGUI tool for parallel installing of many versions of LibreOffice.

Some days ago I got a crash in current developer build (future LibreOffice 6.5) that was installed with SiGUI. Nobody could repro that crash, but I got it every time. Deleting of user profile have not help. I always installed LibreOffice for testing into the same directory on top of old version. It was a reason for my problem! A crash disappeared only after LibreOffice installing to another clean directory.

So better install LibreOffice for testing with SiGUI only in clean path and if you want use for it only one directory, then delete all subdirectories and all files from it before install.

About problems in LibreOffice from Linux distro packages

Very big thank you for all people who write bug reports about LibreOffice in to our bugzilla. But sometime I see, that your problems are only in Linux distro's (like SuSe, Ubuntu, Arch, etc.) LibreOffice and we can't repro your problem in LibreOffice from TDF site.

Your reports are really very important for our project and you really help make LibreOffice better. Unfortunately, we have only several active QA member now. So I have a big request for you, dear bug reporters: before post a report with LibreOffice problem in to our bugzilla, please make sure that your problem reproducible not only in your installed LibreOffice but also in LibreOffice downloaded from TDF site. It makes QA work more simple.

Thank you for your reports anyway.

Fixed a terrible regression

There was a bug tdf#128133 about "muddy fonts in LibreOffice GUI with 125% scale in Windows". I have 125% scaled GUI on all my machines with Windows because I have a bad vision. And that bug was very terrible for me. 

The bug was a regression but we have couldn't to find a bad commit using bibisect process. We just have had wrong result.

And finally, Jan-Marek Glogowski have found a problem and yesterday he fixed it!

Thank you very much!
