Here's a proposal to stay focused and narrow on these and their immediate kin,
because there will be much analysis required on just this class of problem.

We want to focus on the most constant and costly few reflected that the four
cases reflect.

 1. Saved documents are opened later and found to be corrupted completely with
their content unrecoverable altogether.

 2. There are crashes and freezes and stuck messages that require AOO to be
shut down, losing whatever work that had been done.  Some features always fail
hard because a prerequisite, such as Java, is not properly installed.

 3. There are situations where a document is reported as damaged, repair is
offered, but the report won't go away and AOO can't be used, whether repair is
accepted or declined.

 4. There are a few situations where suddenly writing aids or other features
stop working or appear to be reset, spell-checker marking shows up on all text,
etc.  These tend to be related to corruption of the User Profile but only
complicated manual workarounds are effective.

It is easy to expand the scope. We want to narrow it rather than expand it so
we can focus on what is likely to be a single defect case.  We may find that
there are multiple defects with similar symptoms and have to then sort those
out.

Also, we may have very simple mitigations and remedies that can be introduced
in stages toward more complete solutions.  That is to avoid destabilizing the
software with changes we introduce.  Changes must be reversible until we have
confidence in them.
