-- If you have consulted with the developers and were asked to open an issue, please proceed.
-- Please also search the existing issues for similar problems before opening a new one.
-- Please do not prefix you issue title with BUG: or LIBRE: for instance. The issue maintainer will tag every issue with appropriate labels.
-- Add screenshots only if necessary, e.g. write the version number instead of adding a screenshot of the system status page.
