@TimWardCam@c.im @libreoffice@fosstodon.org That's unfortunate, I don't know if this is a known bug, or something unusual. But I have to say with 22 years of LibreOffice (originally an open office user until forking) I've literally never had it update without asking. Nor have I had ever it break itself to the point of being unusable or to require dropping to the command line.
Not to dismiss your experience and valid concerns, just I hope to reassure you my experience would suggest its a rare case.

@Kneewax@fosstodon.org @libreoffice@fosstodon.org It was something to do with graphics acceleration. Apparently this assumes that it can work with your hardware unless your hardware is on a blacklist. Mine has now been added to the blacklist. Yes, OK, that's something the end user might reasonably be expected to worry about for a top end game, but for a word processor??
