Not sure what happened. Up until a week or so ago every time I opened Libre Office Writer, the status bar was there at the bottom. Now I have to manually go into the view option and turn it on. Is there a way, some settings somewhere, that I can have it default to always on when I open writer? I looked through the options but couldn’t seem to find it anywhere.
One obvious thing to try first is to fix any possible Profile corruption:-
How To Fix any User Profile Corruption
“If you notice any strange behaviour on LibreOffice, or simply it fails to start, the first thing to try is to reset the user profile.”
- Shutdown LO/OO + Quickstarter
-
Find your user-profile directory
(enable ‘Show hidden files’)
(note: 5.x profile location is identical to 4.x) - Rename it
- Restart LO/OO
…and try again.
LO/OO is very prone to Profile Corruption. In the absence of an existing profile it is designed to re-create a new, default profile, and that neatly fixes many, many problems.
Note: the Profile is left in place when LO/OO is uninstalled - that is by design. Thus, even a new install may suffer Profile corruption.
