     And thank you for the link. When I read the bug report, I noticed a
common feature of it and your problem: the software was compiled. I have
been using LO 3.5 from 3.5.0 through 3.5.2 from the LO website without
having a problem even though the first thing I do is dock the Styles and
Formatting window to the left side of the LO window. (I extensively use
styles.)
     My experience of LO 3.5.x is on both a 32 bit and 64 bit Ubuntu
computers. One of the things I first noticed going back to OOo 2.x
version was that others were having problems with OOo bugs that were
added when various Linux distributions compiled their own version. We
all had problems with OOo bugs from the OOo website too: they were just
different bugs.
