​Tom (Davies), thought I'd mention that Java is enabled (1.8.0_91)​
​ is enabled on my version of ​

​LO  5.1.4.2, so it seems unlikely that OP Tom Cloyd's problem - which, as
noted above, I do not encounter - is Java- related. As in Bruce's case, My
version (1:5.1.4-0ubuntu1~trusty1) was downloaded and installed via the
Ubuntu PPA....
