Minor bug in Lubuntu 20.04

From Rex Bouwense · Oct 27, 2020

    I have discovered  a very minor bug in a fresh install of Lubuntu 20.04.1.  It deals with the way LibreOffice Impress displays slides.  The title is OK but the bullets are displayed with the letters crammed together.  This is not the case in Ubuntu or Xubuntu so if you have either of those OSs on your box you can ignore this email.  A Bug Report has been filed (May 2020) but there has been no action on it.  In doing research I looked on the Ubuntu Forums, Ask Ubuntu, and Lubuntu Discourse.  A work around has been offered on Ask Ubuntu and I have tried it on 2 machines and it has worked on both.  It requires you to install the snap version of LibreOffice and if you want purge the other version from your system.  Not a difficult or time consuming project.
    Open a terminal and type: sudo snap install libreoffice
That is all that you have to do.  Remember it will be in a snap format and will the the latest and greatest LibreOffice 7.0.2.2.  If you want to remove the default LibreOffice that was originally installed, type apt purge libreoffice-common
After that has completed there are some packages that will remain but you can delete them with sudo apt autoremove
