> Really? Why?

This case does not fit that policy; so the "why" does not apply here.
The answer to "why" is mostly this:
*generally* there's no way to find out the actual problem, that was fixed by
resetting the profile; and also *usually* there's no way to repro. Hence a need
to close without a code fix.

The WORKSFORME is misused here, as there's no better alternative

OTOH, whenever such a "profile corruption" has a reproducing scenario; or there
is a copy of such a profile that allows to repro the resulting problem, and
there's a reason to fix *that* resulting problem (as opposed to keeping the
failure on such a corruption, and instead fixing the cause of corruption), this
is *not* something we should close.

I recall several cases when we fixed problems that could be temporarily fixed
by profile reset.

As said: I don't think this should be closed. The problem is clear, and even
though I don't see an easy way to do this, there should be something to improve
UX in such a case.

I also recall my comments elsewhere, when customized menus resulted in absence
of new features, or broken existing features after upgrades, because menu
changes (and UNO commands) weren't updated for the user. This is basically the
same problem.
