Excerpt from LibreOffice.app/Contents/Info.plist (line numbers included)

I believe the CFBundleShortVersionString is set wrong for the 32-bit Mac OS X version. If the version is 4.2.0.4, I'd expect to see it written out entirely or to have 4.2.0 (as seen from the website download page, see mac_32_download_screen.png), or 4.2 (as seen on the root page of the LibreOffice website). The problem is that Mac OS X says 4.2.4 for the version because that's what the CFBundleShortVersionString is set to. Attachment Info_plist.txt shows the relevant excerpt from LibreOffice.app/Contents/Info.plist (line numbers included). The result is confusing to the end user as the results from the Finder's Get Info and what you see in the 'column' view in a Finder window don't make much sense; compare get_info.png and columns_view_info.png. Recommending that CFBundleShortVersionString be changed to 4.2.0.

This location says "LibreOffice 4.2.0.4" as expected

The Finder window in 'columns' view shows a confusing number 4.2.4; I'd expect 4.2.0.

The LibreOffice download page shows 4.2.0 for the three-section version number. This doesn't match the three-section version number seen in Mac OS X in the a Finder window set to 'columns' view (see columns_view_info.png)
