LibreOffice 26.2 is here: a faster, more polished office suite that you control - TDF Community Blog
blog.documentfoundation.orgWe’re pleased to announce the release of LibreOffice 26.2, the newest version of the free and open source office suite trusted by millions of users around the world. This release makes it easier than ever for users to create, edit and share documents on their own terms. Designed for individuals and organizations alike, it continues to be a trusted alternative to proprietary office software. LibreOffice 26.2 is focused on improvements that make a difference in daily work and brings better performance, smoother interaction with complex documents and improved compatibility with files created in other office software. Whether you’re writing reports, managing spreadsheets, or preparing presentations, the experience feels more responsive and reliable. LibreOffice has always been about giving users control. LibreOffice 26.2 continues that tradition by strengthening support for open document standards, and ensuring long-term access to your files, without subscriptions, license restrictions, or data collection. Your documents stay yours – forever. Behind this release there is a global community of contributors. Developers, designers, translators, QA testers, and volunteers from around the world worked together to deliver hundreds of fixes and refinements. Their efforts result in a suite that not only adds features, but also improves quality, consistency, and stability,
In the release notes you’ve linked, there’s a heading called User Interface. It’s a fair number of small QOL improvements.
I see nothing about making the scroll bar static, with buttons, which is impossible to have on Linux–for an application designed around scrolling pages.
This strikes me as an odd comment. Did you have a specific reason to expect that 26.2 would include this, such as an enhancement request that you’d logged (or had been following) via their community channels?
Um, no. But word processors are centered around scrolling, and all that’s available is a mobile scroll, which auto-hides and has no up and down buttons. I cannot possibly be the only person who finds this problematic. Hard pass.
If you’re using KDE, apparently changing your system application style might help - Breeze, for example, has an option for visible scroll arrows. Link.
In any case, it’s a GTK thing, not a LibreOffice thing.
