I recommend bookmarking <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOffice>.

NoOp & Dennis: What is the standard bug reporting procedure for LibreOffice? I looked at "libreoffice.org" and didn't find anything, but I didn't look too hard. DENNIS: NoOp tested one of the problems I reported; see below. NoOp: I submitted reproducible examples of two problems to Dennis. Thanks very much for your support of LibreOffice.
