Your daily dose of “fuck Microsoft” is here!

The Document Foundation (TDF) recently announced the release of LibreOffice 26.8, and while it packs many new features, its highlight is the lack of any AI integration. This is quite the opposite of what Microsoft has been doing with its Office suite, but the tale of the disagreements between these two entities is as old as time itself, so nothing surprising. Now, TDF has explained why it cannot display some fancy charts that Microsoft Office can visualize without a problem.

Also explained at LO’s blog, with a less of a clickbait title: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/09/17/libreoffice-26-8-and-interoperability/

    Genuine curiosity: what’s broken about it? I’ve not noticed issues scolling in Calc on Windows…

      its not per pixel, its per cell. Suppose you make all the cells big. Each scroll will jump entire rows which is very offputting.

        Ah, I get how that would be irritating. The Linux version scrolls that way as well.
