Linux Mint 19. fullscreenonly I recently uninstalled Libre Office Writer and Calc. because I was having problems loading some of my documents, I then rebooted and reinstalled both via the software manager.
Now, when I open a Spreadsheet file, the page opens on full screen, with the only option at top right, to close the window, If I click on the solitary X (top right), a window opens showing all my Calc files instead of closing. I cannot reduce screen, also when I select Print Preview, the full screen opens showing No Data. and I cannot print,
Also when I try to close the file I find the screen frozen, the cursor will not activate anything until I tap the Esc key
I have also just found out that if I attempt to look at LibreOffice - Help - to see what version I have, nothing happens, it wont open. nor will anything under Help, Donations takes me to an unavailable site.
Any suggestions please
Ubuntu - and therefore Linux Mint - recently faced massive problems regarding their LibreOffice packaging. What does sudo apt list --installed | grep libreoffice tell? sudo apt check throwing any error messages?
Hello and thank you for a very prompt reply.
sudo apt list --installed | grep libreoffice gives me:-
