[upstream] LibreOffice on Ubuntu 19.04 screws up text paragraph styling

[Eamon]

After updating Ubuntu to 19.04 documents previously created in LibreOffice had some of their paragraph styling wiped, e.g. a custom heading style was arbitrarily removed in some but not all instances in a document and was replaced with 'Default Style'.

LibreOffice Version: 6.2.2.2
Build ID: 1:6.2.2-0ubuntu2
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.0; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3;
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-GB
Calc: threaded

Thanks for the report Eamon.
Would you be able to share such a document, so that others can test, confirm and investigate the problem?

[Eamon (eamon-maguidhir)]

It's pretty gigantic document (big images) ans not ideal for sharing. I will see if I can get the same outcome with a lighter document.

FYI the same ODT opens fine in LibreOffice version 6.132 on a Windows 10 netbook.

This looks to be an upstream bug.

The regression can be seen when installing 6.1.5 and 6.2.3 side-by-side on 19.04 from LibreOffice's own deb builds: (https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/?type=deb-x86_64 <https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/?type=deb-x86_64>)
