Re: [libreoffice-users] How to downgrade from 4.0.2. to 3.6.6

Hi :)
Congrats on fixing it! Now you see why it's so difficult to pin-down what the problem is.  

Microsoft have every Tuesday as "Patch Tuesday".  I think they copied the idea from Symantec 
(Norton) a few years ago.  Symantec use Thursdays.  It makes it easier and more predictable for 
Sys.Admins  rather than being completely unpredictable.  Patches and updates do sometimes break 
things so it's nice to know when they are going to happen.  Obviously if there is a really serious 
threat that they develop a patch for they sometimes release it asap rather than waiting but for the 
most part they stick to holding patches back until the next Tuesday.  

I suspect it's more to do with rebooting, or perhaps just restarting just LO after turning off the 
auto back-ups.  
Anyway, congrats and regards from 
Tom :)
