There's no such button though, there's a button with a tooltip "New".

What in the world a "New document" button would do in a macro editor? Assuming
there would be such button, that would just sound like a bad naming, where
someone thought of a macro as a document, perhaps because the macro IDE is
inside the Office suite.

Okay, two things.

1. LO is by far not as popular as MS Office, and the auditory for office suites
are mostly non-technical people. Many don't know (or just don't care) that you
can go report bug for something that works wrong. And a design flaw in the
office suite is not something you'd usually report bug for, because, well, it
still works, right? So many people just wouldn't do that.
   This bug was reported when I was living with my ex-gf who had to use LO
because MS Office just wouldn't work on Fedora, and you can't imagine HOW MANY
complaints I've heard from her about the LO design being terrible. As a
programmer I can distinguish complaints of "habitual" type from legit ones, and
I'd say 50% of them were legitimate complaints. How many bugreports she
created? Zero. I created a few on her behalf though, but wasn't it for me there
would be none at all.
2. Let's not come down to that handwaving reasoning "nobody reported, hence
it's untrue". If you are working with a macro in a window wholly dedicated to
macro editing, what in the world a button for starting a new Spreadsheet would
do there? This is insconsistent. Although, if you really up for some
overengineering and want to have such buttons in every possible place, at least
please name it accordingly "New Spreadsheet" and not just "New".
