LibreOffice 6.3 hits beta, with built-in redaction tool for sharing those █████ documents

Interesting Tool!

But.. I don't think I would ever have a usage for it.

It's always good to see LibreOffice progressing though, regardless of if it is something I use or not.

For the most part, LibreOffice always works perfectly though!

I can honestly say recently with 6.2 there is only one bug I've noticed. That is, if you write a document in Japanese as opposed to English (I know! Who would do such a thing!), after the first fully written page LibreOffice will slow to a crawl if it has to fallback to Japanese characters from a font such as Sans for example. (Other applications are fine on Linux)

Luckily, using fonts made specifically for Japanese such as Ume, resolves this issue and LibreOffice will resume being fast.

So, aside from that easily worked around bug, all good for the many years I've used it!
