First, did my original make it to the list? Second, despite some upgrades with pacman, my version of LO seems unchanged (the About LibreOffice dialog box now shows 25.2.0-4 in the 'Misc' line), but the (mis-)behaviour continues — if there are no suggestions, can anyone confirm this behaviour under various OSes? -- T.
