--- Comment #16 from Michael Weghorn <m.weghorn at posteo.de> ---
LO 6.2.5rc1 will be tagged this week. The (known) blocking issues mentioned
above (and more) have been fixed in the meanwhile and fixes were backported for
the upcoming 6.2.5 release.

What is left is that X11 primary selection doesn't work from Writer to external
applications (s. bug 122239), which does have a fix for master pending in
Gerrit, but it's a rather large one, so too risky to "quickly backport" it for
6.2.5, and possibly even 6.2.6.

We (Katarina, Jan-Marek, me) discussed the current status today and don't see a
reason to disable kde5 as default for 6.2 (on X11) any more and today's ESC
call followed that suggestion. From the minutes:

* Leave kde5 by default on Plasma/LXQt for 6.2.5 (tdf#124044)
  (Michael W, Jan-Marek)
    + The only real problem left is the the PRIMARY selection
        - Doesn’t work from Writer to external applications, but does otherwise
          e.g. inside LO or from external applications to LO
        - Fix for master / 6.3: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/73288/
        - That is a whole rewrite of the clipboard and D’n’D code for Qt5.
        - bubli, jmux and michael decided to postpone the backport decision
          to 6.2.6, but will very likely just skip it for 6.2 completely
    + We disabled kde5 for Wayland, as this has still major problems
        - FYI: currently any LO crashes on KDE Wayland
          https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408358
    + We want to keep kde5 enabled for still
        - when the pending 6.2 patches are merged
    => suggest to keep things unchanged

Therefore, closing this bug now.

Thanks again for reporting it, your concern and and help to make LibreOffice
better!
