Thanks ondoho, it wasn't so much about the message itself but the fact it was not capturable!

I've tried to makle the point that it is not a good practice to allow messages like that to be transmitted.

I'd like to close the thread but of course, it is not SOLVED!

Can I close it in any other way?

Simple job, Yast, get rid of this for me please.

Yast proceeds to uninstall all of LibreOffice as well of some of WPS
Reminds me of the situation years ago when I found that CUPS was being mandated (despite being a royal pain to set up) as a dependency for darned near everything on the system that might want to print leading me to grumble "OK I know I need A printer service... why does it HAVE to be CUPS? Why can't I use LPRng anymore?"

Q: Why WPS? Is it dependent on LibreOffice? Or vice versa?

Does LibreOffice have trouble reading some old Microsoft documents? Well, I found an old Word 6 file (an old DOS tutorial I wrote for student interns and formatted for an Okidata 192 dot matrix printer) that it read... mostly. I can't say it rendered it perfectly but I was impressed that it read a Word file that, AFAICT, appears to be ~31 years old.

Often the warning will contain long undecipherable strings which get lost because of this failing.

Not difficult to sort I would have thought.

Would be very useful in problem tracing.

I'll leave this here for a day or so, then remove it so as not to clutter the place up! :-)

I recently asked the same kind of question.
Other than screen capturing and manually typing the error message, there doesn't seem to be a way.
This is why, in my own programs, I add a "Copy to Clipboard" button.
