I saw a recent message about LibreOffice as a AppImage. Got me thinking
that they might be a way for me to use a newer version then that
available in the Mint package manager. I did some googling and found
some basic info on using AppImages and LibreOffice but nothing that
answered the question
I recently moved from Mint 18.3 (LO 5.1.6.2) to Mint 20 (LO 6.4.6.2).
After the move a Python script that worked fine in 5.1 no longer works
correctly in 6.4. I found that in 5.1 if I did File-->Open a dialog
opens that has a Search option up in the top left corner. In 6.1 the
dialog opened wi
Linux Mint 20 - LO 6.4.6.2
When I was using Libreoffice on Mint 18.3 I was able to do
Tools-->options-->view-->Mouse-->Positioning: Default button and the
cursor would move to the default button.
Now setting this option does not move the cursor to the default button,
in fact it does not move

A while ago I read an article about updates to python uno in LO to make
it easier to use. At the time I didn't have the time to really pursue
it and forgot to bookmark it. Now I can't find it again.
Does anyone maybe have a link to such an article?
