I have run across a major problem with libreoffice on kubuntu - you can't
use the Filter field to open a file of a specific type. Apparently the
Export dialog is also similarly messed up. I see that this bug has been
found and fixed in Fedora, but I am not seeing any activity in either KDE
itself or in kubuntu.

Can someone tell me the proper way to report this issue both for kubuntu
and KDE? I don't see it on bugs.kde.org.
Hi Mitch,
LibreOffice is independent from KDE, that's why you don't see the package
on bugs.kde.org.
The proper way to file a bug report is this:
1) file a report on LibreOffice's own bug tracking system at [1];
2) file a report on Launchpad, linking the upstream bug report using the
"Also affects distribution" link and pasting the URL to the upstream
report in the "URL" field.
Hope this helps,
Thank you, it does. From further discussion on the Fedora bugzilla, I see
that the the fix has already been made on the libreoffice-kde package
upstream, so what needs to be done is to backport the patch to the current
kubuntu version. I will therefore only need to do (2).
The issue is actually pretty serious: because of the bug, you can't use
the filter dropdown on the Open dialog. This means you can't open a
tab-delimited file with extension .txt as a spreadsheet, because if you
use the open dialog without using the Filter dropdown, it always opens as
a text file.
