I strongly agree with the proposal "Accessing the Start Center via an entry "Start Center" in the Window menu." For me on Ubuntu, I have an icon for "LibreOffice" distinct from the icons for Writer, Draw, and Calc. It brings up the very useful thumbnail views but it silently fails if LibreOffice is running. This is a bug. The Start Center window should have the same lifetime controls as Writer, Draw, and Calc windows. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
