It is. Well, it means LibO supports many formats.
But the list is really long, I wonder if someone is thinking about how
to make it easier to browse (if that's possible).
Just make the list larger, as screen space permits.

I think it is also a bug when the Open dialog has a pull-down list that extends
beyond the edge of the screen. My understanding is they are supposed to move
left, down, or up, to avoid that. All the well-behaved applications I run do
that. In fact, I take advantage of that fact in arranging to take screen shots
where dialogs and pop-ups are forced inside the frame of the application.

The list if file types is impressive but beyond utility. Why not filter the list
according to the extension of the file being opened as soon as a file has been
specified?
What happens now is that the "File type" option fills two purposes:
filter the file list and specify which "input filter" (file format) to
use.
Filtering the list is useful when a directory has lots of files, and
picking the right format is useful not only when there are ambiguities
(like *.txt) but also when the file does not have the "extension" LibO
associates with the format (although this requires you to either pick
the file first with "All files" and only then choose the tipe, or to
enter the filename by hand).
