Hi :) I think initially posting a bug-report is fairly intuitive. This guide https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport helps. It does ask for a lot more detail than you might be able to give in your initial report but you can always add that detail later in further posts to the thread of the report. It's much the same as writing an email to this list tbh. Regards from Tom :)
