Hi
You can have both the 3.3.3 and the 3.4.2 installed alongside each other
and
open the same document with either. It is not easy and there is a guide on
how
to do it because the straight-forwards route can create problems. I don't
have
the address of the guide easily available here :(
Apols and regards from
Tom :)

footnotes, endnotes
I was aware of the bug before trying to upgrade to 3.4 because it is
written in
plain text on the release notes of 3.4.2. Since I am writing a thesis with
a
lot of footnotes, I didn't had the choice to return back to 3.3 until the
issue
is properly resolved. I think that it is unprofessionnal to leave a bug in
a
software that is supposed to be a direct competitor of ms office.

Also, users may not understand the bug is caused by footnotes. Any
document
with more than one footnote or endnote in a paragraph will crash every
time,
from what I understand. But to diagnose the bug, you have to Google and
Nabble and Bug search on "recovery" or "lock file" because you have no
idea
it is the footnotes causing the crash. In fact, if you only have one
document open, it does not even seem like a crash. The only evidence of
the
crash is that you do not return to the Libre Office main screen, but that
would be normal in MS Word, for example. You are left with a lock file,
and
on restart you have a confusing choice about Recovery - it may actually
be
best NOT to do the recovery, assuming you saved your file before the
crash.
So how could people complain about this bug, if they do not know it is
caused by footnotes? I was a very diligent bug hunter, so I found it.
