I think all platforms should maintain the same version numbering.
There are occasional but frequent reports on Forum of problems with tables in
Writer causing crashes when they are extended to cover multiple pages; my usual
advice is to limit tables to one page, and repeat the structure if needed on
subsequent pages. This seems to work; I cannot comment from personal
experience as my routine work does not involve Writer tables. If this proposed
fix involves tables it may have cross-talk into the Windows and other platforms.
