Done. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=help.git;a=commitdiff;h=6c2ea6f7f1c4bf9708450dc67672625d0e4cd407

Sorry that it took so long!

For some reason, this is listed as being fixed in 4.4.6.3 (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/4.4.6/RC3), but it isn't. I assume it's fixed in the 5.1 branch only.
Comment 4 David H. Gutteridge 2015-10-31 21:36:14 UTC 
Hmm, there is a much broader problem with the release notes in question being incorrect (I just happened to look at this one because it actually affected me), I'll report it separately, sorry for the noise.

> I'll report it separately

Never create bug reports here for wiki mishaps. I mean, it’s a wiki, everyone can edit it. Too much bureaucracy. (I just edited the affected page, for the record).
