Public bug reported: This is a packaging quirk that I've encountered in elementaryOS, but I've verified that it also affects the new minimal installation in Ubuntu 18.04.
When I install LibreOffice Calc or Writer from GNOME Software, they do not automatically install the `libreoffice-gnome` package and look completely out of place in the surrounding GTK desktop. There are two workarounds: I can either install the `libreoffice-gnome` package manually, or I can install the full LibreOffice package, which includes `libreoffice-gnome` in its Recommends. Neither of these options is intuitive for me as a user; I only searched for "Excel" in GNOME Software and installed Calc because it looked familiar. Proposed fix, without knowing much about package dependencies: Can't the individual LibreOffice apps include `libreoffice-gnome|libreoffice-kde4` in their Recommends as well? ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1783992 Title: Individual LibreOffice apps do not include GTK support by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1783992/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
