<pre>A user raised a concern wrt the "Unexpected error" message wording, which seems
to imply that there are "expected errors" in LibreOffice [1]. While there are
actually "expected errors" (exceptions expected to be generated in many
scenarios, and handled gracefully in the code), those are implementation
detail, and that detail is not something what could be of interest to a user.
The message should be improved. Search for "unexpected error" using grep in the
codebase (or use opengrok [2]), and improve places *relevant to user-visible
messages*.
