Hi Stephan,

this seems to be https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59629,
which is on our radar already.

Not aware of a bug report yet for that wrt. 4.0 - would you be willing
to file a bug report with an example document at
https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/ please? It could be specific
to some kind of documents.

There is a quite a range of possibilities here - QA volunteers
focusing more on other applications, platform specific problems,
document-specific bugs etc etc. The best advice to give at this point
probably is: get involved with our QA team! E.g. it could be you
running a handful of regression tests, on your platform, with your
files, prior to releases.

Head to https://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/qa-testers/ if you
are interested!

Thanks for notifying us in the first place, all the best,
