Using LibreOffice Writer 5.0.2.2, printing does not work at all. Printing the document (here: http://imgur.com/izBTWSb.jpg) directly results in a blank page. Printing to PDF results in this: https://i.imgur.com/FyIvCeA.jpg. Also, the image pasted into the document looks much worse on this version than before the last update. There wasn’t nearly so much aliasing.
Another thing I noticed in the printer dialog is inexplicable pink: http://i.imgur.com/PYf4nPo.png
Hi spartanhooah
What splendid problems! Try this:-
It is all par for the course when you make use of LibreOffice Fresh. If you want a less-exciting life then install from Libreoffice Still (stable) instead.
If this helps then please tick the answer (

…and/or show you like it with an uptick (∧)
How many reports should I submit? One each for printing, PDF exporting, and the weird pink? Also, 5.0.2.2 is what’s downloaded by default if you go to libreoffice.org; there’s no mention of that being a beta channel.
Submit 1 report per problem.
LO does not use the terminology ‘alpha’, ‘beta’, etc. for releases. They use ‘Still’, ‘Fresh’ & ‘Development’. Imagine what the latter must be like.
Regardless, there’s no indication when you go the main page that version 5+ is not the intended consumer release.
I spend ages in giving excellent answers, and the folks I do it for cannot even bother to tick my answer. Do you think that I should ask for my money back?
I’ll tick this answer when I feel like my question has been answered; you didn’t let me know what the best bug reporting route would be - one for each issue, or some combination of the three?
I answered immediately you asked it: 1 report per problem. It may well be that the various problems are related, but it will be unlikely that you can know that. Reporting more than 1 at a time splits attention:- which one to answer? Better that just 1 at a time, then there is just one thing for the bug-chaser to focus on. Also concentrates your mind:- which problem is the most important?
Oh, sorry, I visually grouped that line as not part of your post for some reason. I’ll get those bug reports submitted soon. Thank you.
Many thanks for the tick. And good luck with the Bug report. 5.0.1 & 5.0.2 seem to have had lots of bugs. Do not forget to point out that you have tried the Default Profile fix before reporting the bug (give the URL when you do that - always impressive).
