wait a second. That string doesn't look right, i.e. Version: 5.4.2.2 does not look like it's been downgraded. I expected 5.4.1. But I can't make it show that. It seems that the libreoffice-common package is defining that version string. That is indeed a newer version here for me. Downgrading that seems to incur some other trouble:

The mouse cursor changes though as if the context menu was shown. Pressing Escape make the cursor return to the normal caret. The attached screenshot is not really telling much. You can see how there is no context menu although I've just right clicked. The mouse cursor changed.
