Hi Nate you can close this off, somehow my shortcut lost association with LibreOffice. A bug in it self. So I ended up deleting and re-assigning the shortcut and it's working fine now.
It may be working for you now (yay!) but it would good to know why it broke in the first place. Is it possible that LibreOffice's binary or desktop file changed in an update, such that the old shortcut was targeting something that technically no longer existed?
Not sure what caused the shortcut to break, it could have happened after LibreOffice update? I know the rest of my shortcut remained valid and and functioning.
It could have, if the app's .desktop file or binary name changed. Then the shortcut you set would be stuck pointing to something that no longer existed.
Nate your call, if you can somehow reproduce this bug, you might be able to find a fix using your assumption of what happened. Shortcuts has been working fine for me, but this one seems like it was definitely an edge-case.
Seems like it's the same root cause issue as Bug 429589; marking as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 429589 ***
