Hi :)
Please post a bug-report about it
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport

It's not as difficult as it sounds.  Most of the advice in that link can be
ignored in your initial report because you can add comments later on.
There are also people on the QA team who can help you work out how to get
some of the information the wiki asks for and then that information can be
added as additional comments.

Basically just;
1. register at the bug-tracking website.
2.  login.
3.  Post something that looks a LOT like an email.

If you can it's nice (but not vital) to;
4.  use the wiki's advice, or other way, of searching through existing
bug-reports to see if someone else has already posted something similar.
5.  play around with the drop-downs until you figure out how to mark it
correctly = or just add a comment to explain


Anyone wanting to get more involved in LO could be a HUGE help if they
could do step4 for a few new bug-reports.  It's pure office-work and takes
absolutely NO coding skills at all!  If you don't understand a particular
bug-report and don't feel able to judge if others are similar then skip it
and move onto the next bug-report.  Each of us finds different things easy
and getting through the ones you find easy frees others to do what they
find easy and frees the devs to do more coding and less office stuff.

Another good way of helping is to do what i said before step1.  People
don't always find it easy to follow instructions, however easy they are,
and it's not always clear if certain information or logs would help or
not.  This might be something that you can help with, in some cases, and
again that frees up other people so they can spend their time on more
challenging cases.

If you do start with either of those you might well find it easy right from
the start or you might find it a struggle that suddenly becomes easier.
Either way you will quickly find yourself learning quite a lot quite
quickly without even really realising.  Then you'll be the ones helping new
QA people to get through the basics or you'll be moving onto the bigger
challenges, or a bit of both.

Regards from
Tom :)
