It most definitely IS true. Users of a standard Windows installation reading
the release email offering this attractive enhancement are likely to
unwittingly turn on OpenGL in the Options dialog and finish up with LO being
totally unusable.
See my report: Bug 87673

"Working in general" is unacceptable. What's our next PR release going to say
"It wonderfully pretty and kind of works SOMETIMES".
