The decision to hide the LO startcenter launcher was recently questioned in a thread at the ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel- discuss/2021-March/018966.html I too would like that launcher become visible again. It's not only about the visual impression in the "Start Applications" view, but the technique for hiding the LO startcenter launcher prevents you from having it among the "Favorites" in the Dock. Myself was in the habit of replacing the Writer/Impress/Calc icons in the Dock with the startcenter one. Also, as pointed out in comment #12 above, there are use cases where the LO startcenter plays a role on its own merits. Debian didn't hide it, btw. While they hid Math, they chose to keep startcenter visible. Please consider to drop hide-startcenter-desktop-file.patch. ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696250 Title: Please hide Start Center and Math To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1696250/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
