LibreOffice Document Recovery window

SUMMARY
I am on Neon User Edition, KDE Plasma 6.0.5, KDE Frameworks 6.2.0, Qt 6.7.0
LibreOffice installed from LibreOffice Still PPA.
System is updated daily with Discover, pkcon update, snap refresh, ...

Yesterday LibreOffice 7.6 Writer worked well.
Today I applied all updates accumulated in last 48 hours.
Now all LibreOffice components (Central, Writer, Calc) are crashing even started without file to open.
This is not a LibreOffice bug, as at LibreOffice Still PPA is no update since 2024-05-26.

In general, I am shocked with number of elementary bugs since transition to KDE 6 - log out did not worked, problems with clipboard, disappearing icons, ...
I was not warned when Discover updated system to KDE 6 and this change immediately caused problems - beside of those mentioned above, which have been corrected in 1-2 days, there are other not solved yet:
KID3 is dead, crashing since KDE 6 transition,
LibreOffice - KDE integration does not work, as libreoffice-kde5 package is not compatible with KDE 6 and libreoffice-kde6 has not been released at Still PPA, ...
I need a STABLE PRODUCTION environment based on Neon User Edition, LibreOffice Still PPA, but at the moment a have a crap paralyzing my work. If Neon User Edition is so buggy, how the Development Edition looks like?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Update system with Discover, pkcon update
2. Run LibreOffice Writer from Start Menu
3. Document Recovery window is displayed, list of files to recover is empty

OBSERVED RESULT
LibreOffice Write is unable to start properly

EXPECTED RESULT
Start LibreOffice Writer

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0
Qt Version: 6.7.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Since transition to KDE 6, KID3 is crashing, LibreOffice - KDE integration does not work
Please improve testing prior releasing packages to the stable environment.
Comment 1 Petr Cibulka 2024-06-19 20:05:29 UTC
Today, after a huge system update (334MB or so), LibreOffice is working again!
No change with KID3 - still dead.

But the question remains to be the same: "How is possible such outages are in KDE NEON User Edition, which should be the most stable?!?"
BTW: In between (for two weeks) NOBODY has replied this bug report (just Antonio Rojas sorted it into the right group).

I have made another installation based on kubuntu 24.04 LTS, which still using KDE 5, so that the LibreOffice - KDE integration works well there. Moreover the libreoffice-qt6 package is ready now for future installation ...

For this moment I am giving up KDE NEON, as since the transition to KDE 6 it is a piece of crap, not suitable as a production environment.
