Sorry, but Lubuntu Next is not a released product as you can see from the list
of Bionic images:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/bionic/release/
There is no problem in the released image. There is also no problem in
Cosmic, which will be the first official release of Lubuntu with LXQt
when it is released this month.

Title:
LibreOffice Apps do not appear in the panel taskbar
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Status in lxpanel package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
I recently installed Lubuntu Next 18.04, which includes LibreOffice 6.
At some point, I noticed that LibreOffice Writer (unlike all my other
programs) does not appear in the panel's Taskbar (where all apps
loaded in that workspace/desktop should be).
All other apps with which I have experience, are listed in the taskbar, and
can be minimized and un-minimized by clicking on the portion of the bar devoted
to that app.
There is an option in the panel settings that would allow me to only have
apps appear in the taskbar when minimized, but I never use that.
LibreOffice apps (I noticed this with Writer, but since tested it with
the other LO apps that were installed with my OS, and the same thing
happens with all) have nothing in the taskbar to show that they have
opened, and when minimized, disappear entirely.
I know that they have not quit when they disappear, in two ways:
1. If I use the OS's menu to bring up LO-W again (thus with an blank
document), and then go to that window's menu->Window, it shows all open LO-W
documents, which can then be brought back by clicking on them.
2. Lubuntu Next's window manager OpenBox has a keyboard-shortcut Alt-Tab,
which allows one to select from available app windows - and at least one LO
document is listed, from which the others can then be accessed by #1.
I don't know what causes an app to have windows in the taskbar, but that
system is failing with LO windows.
(I guess that I had assumed that the OS took care of managing windows in the
taskbar - having them appear there when opened, and removing them when closed),
but apparently I am wrong, or LO windows would not be able to hide, as they
seem to do...)
I am assuming that this is a new bug, as this did not happen before.
I cannot think that it is a design decision, not to let the user minimize
documents (or simultaneously open multiple documents) without apparently losing
them altogether (at least without jumping through hoops (hoops of which they
might well not be aware...)).
