--- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> ---
This is not a bug. There is no separate "Draw" or "Writer" in LibreOffice, they
are just modules in the monolithic suite; and when the suite starts with a file
name, it analyses the file structure, and decided which module to use. That is
unless you pass the import filter explicitly, which is much more targeted than
just telling which module to use.

But then the question is, which file you are trying to open. Because there is
not many file types that both Draw and Writer can open - I think that it's only
PDF, for which Draw is the default application in the suite. And in truth, both
aren't good options to handle PDF files, better alternatives exist (LibreOffice
is not a PDF editing software)*.

If that happens for a specific file type, please describe which. Then you might
need to edit the Windows registry to associate these files with a specific
command line, which would include the explicit import filter.
