About the time I upgraded to Ventura, I began having finder problems.
Two weeks ago, I deleted Texty, which I'd downloaded from the app
store. No more finder trouble.
Another problem appeared with Ventura. A Libreoffice document will
pop to the front when I'm working on another document or even another
app, such as a web browser. It seems to be the first document opened
when I launched Libreoffice.
Check with the Libreoffice crew. Sounds like they've got a minor bug
that pushes the doc front as if the app just started.
Thanks. Submitting a bug report looks complicated.
Then you'll have to wait until someone else has that issue and it gets resolved. You could try searching whatever LibreOffice forums there may
be on reddit , etc. to see if other have seen the same thing, reported
it, have a workaround, etc.
Or: is it really an issue or merely an annoyance?
Or: is it due to some strange setting that got bumped along the way?
I'm using 7.4.6, recommended as the latest tried-and-true version. Older versions appear to be unavailable.
Strange.
Version 7.5.2 is recommended for the more adventurous. If I tried that,
could I go back to 7.4.6 if the newer one works badly for me?
I don't know. I'd usually say, "sure" but I've had my own issues with
apps like Safari where I couldn't "go back".
Fortunately the issue with the newer version resolved during a later
security and app update.
What if I switched to Apple's Pages and Numbers? I haven't so far
because I'd have to learn a new interface, and I'm afraid my files would
be in a format that I couldn't open if Apple dropped these apps.
Esp. if the issue at hand is merely an annoyance, I'd stick with what
you know well until the issue is eventually resolved.
To be sure, while Pages has certain advantages over Word (esp. when
working with artwork, graphs, etc. to insert), Word is my daily driver.
Numbers sucks. The UI sucks. The capability sucks. It's a lightweight.
And for both Pages and Numbers you'll be at odds, format wise, always
having to export to Word/Excel format for others to be able to use the
doc. No direct export to whatever format LibreOffice uses (that I'm
aware of - haven't used it in over 10 years) --- and v-v.
