Just tested this with the snap and this bug does not appear present, so may have already been fixed upstream.

Hi Tim, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I've just tested this scenario with 6.2.3.2 on Disco, and with 6.2.4.2 on Eoan. The former indeed fails as described, and the latter succeeds (as you had confirmed with the snap).

I'm now in the process of updating Disco to 6.2.4.2, so this issue should be resolved once that lands.

Thanks Marcus. I pulled 6.2.4.2 from the LO PPA this morning, and can confirm it's fixed there. Looking forward to it dropping into main.
