The PCLinuxOS lead developer, Texstar, opened a bug for this around September, and I commented on that, but I can no longer find it on bugzilla! At that time it caused a crash rather than an error report.

I presume as no other distro's users have reported the problem it must be peculiar to the PCLinuxOS environment. I have searched for a changelog online but have been unable to locate one.

Tried to add tdf@pollux.tdf to CC list as per bibisect instructions but address not recognised.
Comment 2 KJP 2022-12-07 12:28:47 UTC
PCLinuxOS' script writer who manages LO installation for the distro tipped me off it's already fixed in version 7.5 alpha1, which I must admit I'd neglected to test, so this is no longer a bug.

I have now tested and can confirm bug fixed already.
