@nprofile1q... When you say "We all want it", can you back up that statement with some evidence please? LibreOffice has 200 million users. Can you tell us the market research you've done to ascertain that the majority of them want this change? Thanks!
@nprofile1q... Changing the default paste behaviour in a well-established suite with millions of users would be... risky, to say the least. But if you want to change it for your own setup, there are some ways: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/always-paste-unformatted-text/118055/7
@nprofile1q... Hi – please report all issues directly to our QA community at hhttps://bugs.documentfoundation.org// – Thank you!

@nprofile1q... Hi! You can submit enhancement requests here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org – But of course, we're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources. To get a new feature more quickly, you can consider helping our volunteers, or funding a developer. Thank you ☺️👍
We're getting very close to #LibreOffice 26.8, our next major release! The first release candidate is now available, for testing: https://qa.blog.documentfoundation.org/2026/07/22/libreoffice-26-8-rc1-is-available-for-testing/ #foss #openSource #freesoftware

@nprofile1q... Hi! Not sure why you're baffled that something doesn't happen – LibreOffice is a volunteer-driven, community project with extremely limited resources. If something isn't being worked on, it's not "baffling" – it's because the volunteers simply don't have the resources to implement every single request. More help is always welcome 😊 Thanks for understanding!
Many improvements, fixes and code cleanups are coming to #LibreOffice, thanks to our worldwide community! Here's what they did in June: https://qa.blog.documentfoundation.org/2026/07/15/qa-dev-report-june-2026/ #foss #openSource #freesoftware
What We Owe Each Other, in Millimetres and Volts
A standard is a public agreement about how things should fit together. Two words in that sentence carry the weight: public and agreement. Public, because the rules are written down and anyone can read them. Agreement, because nobody imposes them alone; they are negotiated between parties who accept that the shared space is more valuable than any individual advantage within it.
