Why is it right behavior? Bigger part of documents floating around in
Internet are documents crated in text editor. Later in the queue we
have presentations

document" is incomparably greater than anything else and in spite of it,
these documents are opened in "picture module".

faultless software but in this case, LibreOffice just sucks more than MS
Office.
