Witer: When typing, text in the current paragraph is randomly altered or removed.
Insufficient explanation. Surely cannot be confirmed like that,can be a duplicate of images issue. Search is required. See Bug 138448, Bug 138068.
I find your dismissive attitude distressing. Release after release, you have failed to fix basic bugs in Writer, such as the indelible white box that appears over your text, to mention another jparticularly egregious bug . . . but this one was a show-stopper. "Duplicate of images issue?" Seriously?

@Owen, Some more information would be really helpful. Especially a sample document demonstrating the problem It surely more specific compared to "text in the current paragraph is randomly altered or removed". Else there would be flood of bug reports There are plenty of variables File format: ODT/DOC/DOCX Track & Changes on/off (hidden/visible) To even broken file issues or some LO profile corruption Is really happening to every file? That's a sample file would give some information to verify
It's not document-specific. It's also only appeared twice, over the past few months. The first time it went away when I restarted LibreOffice. Second time, it wouldn't go away no matter what I did, and in TextEdit everything was fine. I honestly don't know what else to say about it. I'd type, or delete text, and I'd see text being altered further back in the sentence. Just now I've looked into one of those old files before I switched to Pages (which has real issues), and the bug's gone. So . . . I guess all I can say, if I'm the only one attesting to having experienced it, is to keep it in mind? It looks like, at this point, I'll probably switch back to LibreOffice.
Owen, may be you can create a screencast for it?
