Description Cathy Crumbley 2017-09-05 15:42:37 UTC 
On the LibreOffice download page, a number of version options are shown. For non-techies like me, it is not obvious that Windows x86_x64 version is actually the x64 version. The confusion could be eliminated by calling it Windows x64.

The attached clip shows the droplist with the versions as of the 5.4.1 fresh build.

No. This is nonsense, labeling content of the drop list for all operating system builds is appropriate.
Comment 3 Cathy Crumbley 2017-09-05 18:55:48 UTC 
I am just a user who would like to improve the system and do not appreciate being told that my feedback is nonsense.  Perhaps developers consider Windows x86_x64 to be superior to Windows x64 but for users like me, it is not as clear. I understand that not every bug can be fixed but this doesn't even seem like a bug, just a minor wording suggestion.
