        :-) that does look bad.

        Right - so each .src file (that describes a UI resource) has an
associated .cxx file that refers to those resources using these magic
defines:

     45     ListBox LB_FILTERS

        so:

$ git --no-pager grep LB_FILTERS
uui/source/fltdlg.cxx:    ,   m_lbFilters  ( this, ResId( LB_FILTERS, *pResMgr        )             
      )

        usually they are next to each other like this. So:

http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/uui/source/fltdlg.cxx#91

        Looks like a good method to do another git grep on to unwind this. Why
we're getting that filter dialog for a .docx file though - that is
interesting & prolly a different issue ;-)

        Drat - well, LibreOffice can kill hardware I'm afraid; hope it recovers
soon.

        All the best,

                Michael.
