I'm using Xubuntu 25.04 and LibreOffice 25.2.4 with the LibreOffice PPA enabled.
I've found that when using Draw, the page margins aren't visible, which is causing me some inconvenience.
This issue never occurred in previous versions.
In Writer, the page margins are perfectly visible.
If anyone knows a solution, I'd appreciate it in advance.
This is because all versions of LibreOffice 25.2 have been compiled without the item, which is available in:
Menu ---> Tools ---> Options ---> Advanced —> Open Expert Settings:
org.openoffice.Office.Draw
misc
TextObject
TextObject ShowBoundary boolean true
And the only way to add it is by compiling the packages with a patch that includes that option.
This option appears in development versions 25.8.
If you want to install it:
To do this, open a terminal and:
To remove the version of LibreOffice packaged by the operating system developers and PPA, run the following command in a terminal:
sudo apt remove --purge libreoffice*
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --reinstall wget
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt clean
Then, to download the packages for the latest development version of LibreOffice, run the following command in the terminal:
cd ~/Downloads
wget https://ftp.nluug.nl/office/libreoffice/libreoffice/testing/25.8.0/deb/x86_64/LibreOfficeDev_25.8.0.0.beta1_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz
wget https://ftp.nluug.nl/office/libreoffice/libreoffice/testing/25.8.0/deb/x86_64/LibreOfficeDev_25.8.0.0.beta1_Linux_x86-64_deb_helppack_en-GB.tar.gz
wget https://ftp.nluug.nl/office/libreoffice/libreoffice/testing/25.8.0/deb/x86_64/LibreOfficeDev_25.8.0.0.beta1_Linux_x86-64_deb_langpack_en-GB.tar.gz
Once the packages have been downloaded, to install them, run the following in the same terminal:
for x in *.tar.gz; do tar xfv $x; done
sudo dpkg -i LibreOfficeDev_*/DEBS/*.deb
Once the final version is available in the PPA, you will need to uninstall this test version and install the one from the PPA.
