            Bug ID: 141997
           Summary: LibreOffice Extension Manager Icon Not Identified and
                    Cannot Dismiss
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.5.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Extensions
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
In LibreOffice 7.0.5.2 an extensions update icon appeared in the Menu Bar of my
MacBook Pro running Big Sur. I did not know it was a LibreOffice icon for some
time because clicking the icon did not identify it as LibreOffice. It also took
five or six seconds for instructions to appear.  When they did, they merely
said (approximately) "Extensions are available for update - click the box for
details." Clicking after that did nothing.

After a long search I finally tied the icon to LibreOffice and on a LibreOffice
wiki page (I think) I found the way to access LibreOffice Extensions Manager.
That then showed me the group of extensions it wanted me to update. It required
me to update these extensions - it did not give me an opportunity to (1) skip
the update or (2) remove the extension without updating. I don't update
anything without knowing what it is. I therefore removed all the extensions
that had been installed for me for my use.

I can't reproduce it because it needs a new instance of extension update and I
have no control over that.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.See the extension update icon at top of screen
2. Click icon
3. Nothing happens

Actual Results:
Cannot reproduce - it requires a new extension update to trigger.

Expected Results:
Click of the icon should clearly identify it as a LibreOffice product and
should take me to Extensions Manager, which should give me a choice of updating
extension, skipping, or removing extension. It should always tell me what
extension it applies to.


Reproducible: Didn't try


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I can't tell if OpenGL is involved as there is no new extension update to
trigger this fault.

I did not try resetting my profile and can't do it now.
