libreoffice-writer.desktop contains:

MimeType=[...]application/x-extension-txt;application/x-t602;text/plain;[...]

and IMHO this is completely correct since LO *can* open plain text files.

Maybe leafpad should have a higher prio for text/plain (which is the only
one it mentions it its .desktop) than LO?

LO has
InitialPreference=5
whereas leafpad has none. So LO "wins".

Honestly, I don't consider this a LO bug but a leafpad bug. Reassigning.

And even if it was a LO bug, you report it against the version in stable which
will never be changed wrt that. (Neither LO nor leafpad). As it would change
"important" configuration people might rely on..
