I made this recommendation as a user confused by the current menu, and as a
user I assure you I didn't know there was a link to bug reporting in that menu
(and even so, it's too convoluted for an average productivity suite user to
actually report a bug).

How many users use tiny (less than 13") devices to do any type of serious work
and do so in work-related context?

My Raspberry Pi has a HD monitor, and I can't imagine using LibreOffice to
compose work of any value on a tiny breadboard display.
