So it looks as though this bug was introduced at LO 6.4, was fixed somewhere around LO 7.5, but the fix was not back-ported to LO 7.4.

Set "Earliest affected version" to 6.4 (all versions).

(BTW, I'm not using LO "Fresh" branch (7.5) for production work under Intel MacOS at the moment because it's noticeably slower than the "still" branch (7.4).

=> So let's close it as RESOLVED WORKSFORME. There won't be further development on LO 7.4.
