I played with a chapter from the Getting Started guide for about a half hour on my Linux Mint system and did not have any problems, That included handling quite a few images, which tended to cause problems on my Windows system. I then edited the first chapter of the Calc guide. It is 37 pages and I had to change several of the images. That all went well. I did see instability when using the Navigator. Something as simple as selecting the Navigator in the Sidebar and then choosing the Styles and Formatting Deck in the Sidebar would crash the program. Not every time but frequently. I also got a crash once using the floating Navigator called from the Standard toolbar. I reproduced the crash when editing a chapter of the Getting Started guide also. A few attempts to cause a crash using a new, simple document did not work but I have not tried that enough to trust that result. I will try more of that tomorrow. So, the image handling problem I saw on Windows does not seem to happen on Linux Mint but I do see a problem with the Navigator.
