Description Jorrit Schippers 2017-05-03 14:06:10 UTC 
When soffice.exe is called with the `--version` argument a popup with the version is displayed even when the `--headless` command switch is given. On Linux, this is written to the command line regardless of the switch.

I would like to request that the version is written to stdout when `--headless` is passed and no popup is opened, so version detection from other scripts works like in other operating systems.

Reproduced with LibreOffice5.3.2.2 on Win8.1

But in LibreOffice5.4.0.0a1, result is different.
No popup is displayed.
Version info is displayed in command-line.
Regardless of the existence of '--headless' option. Same result.

I expect this problem resolved with release of LibreOffice5.4.
