You make a fair point. I've just tried this myself and yes, the issue definitely is present in Xenial (5.1.6.2). Looks like it was subsequently fixed though, as I cannot reproduce from Bionic (6.0.7.3) onwards.
It's unfortunate but at this point it's hard to justify backporting a low impact fix like this to Xenial. I'm truly sorry that this was not handled sooner. ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990541 Title: Libreoffice Writer freezes when Impress add picture dialog is open To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/990541/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
