Hello, LibreOffice currently appears able to install an update automatically when the application is launched. In my case, this can take several minutes, precisely when I open LibreOffice because I need to use it immediately.
Checking automatically for updates is useful. Installing them automatically at startup, without first giving the user a choice, is much more problematic. A more user-respecting behaviour would be to notify the user that an update is ready and offer two choices: - Update now - Remind me later The issue is not only that the current progress dialog gives too little information. Even a perfectly clear message would not solve the main problem: the user cannot choose when LibreOffice becomes unavailable for several minutes. This concern is related to bug 164937, but that report mainly discusses the wording and information shown during the update. I believe the ability to postpone the update deserves separate consideration.
